Abstract
THIS book is written by an author fully conversant with the subject. That radio communication is not unmixed good is generally admitted, and that its possibilities have as yet only partially materialised is patent to all who have watched its development. Anything that tends to bring about rapprochement between the nations is welcome. The suggestion offered, that radio in the home may increase the sum of laziness, must be noted, but this may be more than balanced by the broadening outlook of rural communities. Finally, it may be quoted, that “Broadcasting will only mechanise men, if it becomes the tool of a mechanistic State”.
