RADIO BROADCAST

with radio instruments of one kind and another, and the Navy has a radio experimental ship, the Ohio. Then, too, the Post Office Department has done a good deal of experimental work with radio in relation to Air Mail planes. But the Bureau of Standards, of the Department of Commerce, which department controls the licensing of sending stations and the inspection of all ships carrying more than 50 souls, is probably doing as much as any
the Army, and the Navy must keep their nets alert. Those nets include, of course, transContinental as well as trans-oceanic service, and the Army corps stations, like most of the stations of the Navy, are equipped or can readily be equipped for broadcasting by phone as well as Morse code, or both.
And it would not'even require legislation for the most part, for Uncle Sam to use radio for all practicable administrative purposes. Thus

Other Federal agency, in certain fields at least, to develop radio and its manifold uses to the full.
Now, at last, there is a larger thought — take it as a bit of prophecy, if you will! It's this:
Not only is the time impending when the Navy will be run by radio and when the Army will be run by radio, but when the Federal Government will do all or much of its telegraphic business, along with vast schemes for public enlightenment, by radio.
The figures are in — it's a lot cheaper than the use of leased wires. Besides, above all else
the Army and the Navy are already in agreement: The Army agrees to handle for the Navy all its deferred trans-Continental business, while the' Navy agrees to handle all the Army's rush coast-to-coast business; the Navy handles the Army's trans-oceanic business, while the Army handles the Navy's inland business — with recruiting stations, for instance. Both the Army and the Navy can, or could, double their traffic capacity — there is no question on that score.
Why not use Uncle Sam's unparalleled world' wide radio net, for all it's worth?
