Convs NCED that a tremendous market exists in America and abroa¢ for short-wave radio sets, two Ameri: can radio companies, one in Bosto and the other in New York, have entered into a co-operative arrangement to develop an international relay broadcasting network, using the four relay short-waves now assigned to aviation radio. American programmes Will be sent abroad on a regular basis, and American listeners will be urged to acquire receivers that will not only. tune domestic short-wave statioas but also the short-wave broadeasters of foreign countries. It is explained that under the rules of the Federal Radio Commission programmes relayed by short-wave must be non-commercial in character, The returns to those who seek to develop the short-wave transmitting and receiving field will come entirely from their market for receiving equipment. Just as regular broadcasting was first developed without advertising to étimulate the sale of radio sets, it lieved that once the public is are of the excellence of the short-wave programmes relay broadcasting can be developed in the same way.
