ON the subject of radio propaganda the following apt reply was made to a reader of an English paped who was perturbed by all the talk of anti-Bri-tish propaganda being poured out by powerful radio stations over peaceful tribesmen in the Near Hast. The wriiter who answered him wrote:-"In my opinion the average Arab never sees a wireless set; if he does, he doesn’t bother to listen to it; if he did it would probably not be speaking in his own dialect; and, if it were, and if he understood .every word, he wouldn’t believe it,. anyway!" [THE British Post: Office announces that the total number of radio licenses in force at the end of September, 1937, was 8,347,800, representing an jncrease of 51,713 for the month and 557,995 over the figure for the same date in 19386.
