All of the power generated in the transmitter will now be hurled from the aerial, and none of the signal strength will be grounded. O far, the results of the League Broadeasts are not properly known, for reports. are still coming in from distant parts, but it is believed that there is sufficient interest in these reports to justify the erection of a special high-power short-wave © station, which can be used for broadcasting for carrying on the League’s own business.

The announcements were made in English, French, Dutch and Japanese, and all listeners were asked to write and report the stregnth and clarity of signals.
