Empire Broadcasting
"Tt is one of the most pleasant duties which has fallen to my lot since | became Secretary of State for the Colonies to express my gratification at the decision of the British Broadcasting Corporation to erect a short-wave wireless station which will enable broadcasting stations in the Colonies and individual listeners to receive programmes from the Old Country. We live in an age of great and extraordinary inventions, but I count none greater nor more potent in uniting the bonds of Empire than those which will so soon enable lonely listeners in the heart of Africa and remote islands in tropical seas to hear with their own ears the familiar chimes of "Big Ben" and the same programmes which their own people are listening to in their own homes in distant Englend."
