Placed "On Record"

T the Christchurch Radio Exhibition last week. Mr. EK. J. Howard, M.P., delivered a short, entertaining address concerning radio broadcasting generally. In the course of his remarks he referred to the Radio Broadcasting Company and the service it was giving to Isteners. Mr. Howard said for some years past he. had taken #1 interest in radio. He wus the first man who had ever mentioned broadcasting in the .House of Parliament, when 75 per cent. of the members knew ‘nothing of broadcasting. Three years ago he had strongly eriticised the .Broadcasting Company and two years ago he had criticised it still more strongly, but now he’ would like to place on record, as they said in the House, his congratulations to the Broadcasting Company for the great improvements which had been made in the service in the past year. Indeed, he said, so excellent was the service now rendered that any reasonable listener would be hard put to find ‘rounds for -complaint.
