B Stations and Copy right

Misleading Statement are given to understand that a statement in the daily press (and accepted by us in good faith), allegedly gmanating from the secretary of the recently-formed Association of B Class Stations, to the effect that arrangements have been. made between the Australasian Performing Rights Assotion and some groups of the stations r a resumption of operations, is not fully correct. It is understood that an agreement has been reached between the Manawatu Radio Society and the copyright people in respect of the operation ‘of the Palmerston North station, the basis being the payment of a fee of ten guineas to the end of the current year. Information available to us is to the effect that finality has not been reached in respect of the position between B class stations and the copyvight authorities, but that the result of a deputation from the association to the Postmaster-General was. general advice that the members of the association would be well advised to make the best arrangement possible with the Australasian Performing Rights ASsociation.
