Radio Round the World

OLLOWING the principle adopted in neighbouring countries, Yugoslavia has decreed that no foreign artists are to be engaged to perform either at theatres, concert halls or broadcasting studios. Exception is made in the case of artists with worldwide fame, for which special authority will have to be obtained. u uy i ORWAY has been granted an exclusive channel in the long-wave band by the new Lucerne Plan, but she will not be allowed to increase the energy radiated.
