It is stated that the German policy of decentralizing control of radio programmes and the high standard of public service main- tained by the British Broadcasting Corporation particularly impressed the Royal Commission.

WIRELESS IN CHINA
Peking, March 6.-Radio broad casting in China, long held up by the opposition of various factional governments, is now being develop- ed rapidly by the Kuomintang (Na- tionalist Party). The leaders at Nanking appear fully aware of the fact that the radio may be one of the most powerful forces in the education of the Chinese masses, writer in "D. C. Bess, U. P. Staff Correspondent."
.
Reports from several parts of the country state that broadcasting stations are being bullt, and that the people are being encouraged to buy receiving sets wherever they can afford to do so. At present, not one person in a thousand can afford even the cheapest set, but hundreds gather
the -around shops which have installed sets, to listen to
any programmes which are broadcast.
Nanking itself is the centre of the broadcasting campaign. Up to this time, the emphasis hus been upon propaganda rather than en- tertainment, and the programmes maintain а deadly seriousness which might prove fatal in any country. It is believed likely that an effort to lighten the pro- grammes will soon be made.
