Radio Pirates?

A RAID was made on unlicensed ra dio listeners last week in the courts of Wellington, twelve business: men and others being haled before the court to explain their possession of ra-

dio sets while not in possession of licenses. Various excuses were advanced to explain the deficiency, the most common being a forgetful memory. The excuses did not avail, however, and penalties ranging from 10/- to 30/- were imposed in every case. Listeners everywhere shvuuld take warning from these prosecutions, as it is apparent that the Post and Telegraph Department is fully on the alert to protect the revenues of the Radio Broadcasting Board.
