March to
The Royal Commission appointed by the Canadian Government to make recommendations regarding Canadian broadcasting, is returning to Canada afer having spend a month in London and having visited Geneva, Berlin. The Hague, Brussels, and Paris.
On its return to Canada, where at present radio broadcasting is carried on almost entirely bv private enter-
prise for gain, the Commission will confer with the provincial authorities in every province. It, is stated that the German policy of decentralising control of radio programmes, and the high standard of public service maintained by the British Broadcasting Corporation, have particularly impressed the Royal Commission. Sir John Aird, chairman of the Commission, stated in an interview that whatever policy of national broadcasting was recommended by the Commission, whether under private enterprise' or State ownership, he was more than hopeful that by the time a chain of powerful stations, was built across Canada, it would be possible to arrange for a regular weekly programme of British broadcasting for Canadian listeners.
