HELPFUL B.B.C.
Leading Public in Right Paths
"The dangerous and fallacious polley of giving the public what it wants in preference to what it should like" was referred to by Sir John Reith, Director-General of the B.B.C., In a paper on "Business Management of the Public Services," read at the Institute of Public Ad- ministration Winter Conference at Westminster City Hall.
Referring to the B.B.C.'s problems of policy, Sir John said: "I'am as certain as anything that to set out to give the public what it wants, as the saying is, is a dangerous and fallacious policy, involving almost always an underestimate of the public's Intelligence and a continual lowering of standards,
"It is not autocracy but wisdom that suggests the policy of pro- secuting carefully and persistently a basis of giving people what you believe they should like and will come to like, granting, of course, discretion and human understanding on the part of those who.carry out the policy, and resolution."

RADIO "FASHIONS" !
Low Frequency Oscillation
It is frequently a matter of comment that what some people are pleased to call "fashions" in radio apparatus seem to change with somewhat alarming rapidity. "A new kind of valve" they say, "is placed on the market and, no sooner have we purchased one of these valves, than we are told that some other portion of our receiver is out date and must be replaced."
There are, however, some in high performance.
