From the B.B.C. — WELCOME this opportunity of congratulating the "New Zealand { Radio Record" on the tenth anniversary ‘of its first issue, and of sending through these columns a message of greeting .o listeners in the Empire’s most distant _ Dominion. There is no doubt that the rapid development of broadcasting throughout the world during the last ten years has owed much to the activities of wireless journals of all kinds. which have stimulated public interest in the

new science. The services to-day also owe a debt of gratitude to the enthusiastic amateur broadcasters whose efforts have been go vigorous, especially in New Zealand. The Dmpire Station at Daventry is. of course, young by comparison with the local broadcasting stations of the Empire and in other countries; but with the help of our overseas listeners the Daventry service has grown very swiftly. The daily link which it provides has made us feel that the Dominions and Colonies are nearer to us than they used to be. We hope that you have the same feeling about . your of the Empire who live in the home country Apart from the programmes radiated from Daventry, reciprocal contributions from New Zealand to Empire broadeasts and the B.B.C. Transcriptions (whose performances over stations of the New Zealand broadcasting service have been so warmly welcomed) have, it seems, helped to promote . this growing understanding.

In the world of to-day it is dangerous to forecast the future. In three years the programmes broadcast from Daventry. have increased ‘from 10 to over 17 hourg daily. Parallel with the inerease in hours of operation there has been development in all aspects of the programme service, which, if our hopes are realised, will make even’ greater contribution to the ideal of Imperial unity in the years to come-From the Director of Empire Services, Broadcasting House, London.
