Although no action has been taken on these resolutions, some- thing toward a definite line of action is expected to result from the coming international con- ference in Washington. Radio' ongineers have practically com- pleted a system of codifying and decodifying radio messages so that only the transmitter and those licensed to receive the mos- sages could understand them.

The coming conference may be called upon to draw up universal radio news system that would not interfere with other methods of broadcasting and the same time would be free from interference,
