72 TELEVISION: THE REVOLUTION All of these considerations are the responsi- bility of the Association for the Advancement of Television. The A.A.T. must have its meet- ing of minds as soon as possible: to iron out dif- ferences of opinion, allay fears and skepticism, assign functions to responsible persons and or- ganizations, draw up scales and contracts which will be agreeable to all. The machinery for the formation and financing of network theatre television must be designed and set into opera- tion. The thousands of minds throughout re- lated industries which have been mulling over the problems of post-war video, should get to- gether—exchange their thinking—spark each other to joint concepts of the scope of visual broadcasting. The actual purpose of the first convention of the A.A.T. will be to focus the eyes of all per- sons who will play roles in the drama of tele- vision in the same general direction—toward the same horizon. It will be the purpose of the convention to bring about a unity of thinking, and a unity of high purpose among all the mem- bers. The exploratory work which has been car- ried out by researchers and program men dur- ing television's childhood will be displayed.
