He told me his story:

As to B.B.C. publications, Major Marray sald that they are supple-

antary to the broadcasting.

"1. My first experience in journ-eritielam all round is now rather alism was in 1913-1914, when I was un a small daily paper in Southern Ontario. I had started life in Canada with the idea that I'd like farming, but I found myself get- ting so thin on my own cooking that I took to journalism, feeling sure that it couldn't be worse.

"2. I was educated at Winches- ter, and Christ Church, Oxford. "3. When war began I came over with a Canadian contingent, but left that and joined the North Stal fords.

"4. I entered the B.B.C. in 1024 sa director of the Manchester sta tion, and afterwards became direc- tor of the Lonilon station, in which capacity I had the honour of organ ising a concart at the Press Club.

"I came to my prezent position from that position."-

He did not say so in so many wards, but I am sure it was a sort- of call of the wild which tore him from organising wireless pro grammes to take up the anxieties and sorrows Inseparate from a general editorship.

"Asociated with me are four editors:-

Facts and Figures.

"The Radio Times, which la printed and published by Newnes and Pearson has grown to embarr- assing proportions, ita circulation being over one and a half millions. It is popular, of course, because it contains complete programmes of the week. Owing to its wide cir- culation we have to go to press well ahead, and so it is that we are ahot at when an item has to be changed. perhaps a week in ad- vance of the day, and yet we pub- lish the wrong item. That is one handicap of a large circulation.

"The last Christmas Number, at 6d. sold 1,380,000' and made a net profit of £10,000. Net profit on all publications last year was of the order of £150,000,"

He told me that the Listener, which at its apex has a circulation of 70,000, serves the purpose of conserving talks which demand permanent record, is serving its purpose well, as also is the World- Radio, which deals with foreign broadcasting and technical mat-

ters.

FUTURE OF THE SERVICE.

Bombay, May 29. The Central Broadcasting Ad visory Committee, the constitution of which is almost complete, will meet early in June at Simla to take a review of existing arangements at Bombay and Calcutta stations and arrive at measures for their im

provement.

The Government of. India have ander contemplation the constitu- tion of Local Advisory Committees which will assist the Station direc- tors in the arrangement and execu- tion of their programmes. The Local Committees will probably consist of six members each: Out af the six members, two will be Europeans. These members of the Central Committee, who are from Bombay and Calcutta, will be ex- officio members alsc. of the local .committees in their respective sta- tions so that they can be in Intim- ate contact both with local and central organizations.

It is believed that the Govern- ment of India do not wish to main- tsin the broadcasting service as a concern of the Posts and Tele- graphs Department, although tem porarily the Postmaster-General at Bombay and the Electrical En- gineer-in-Chief at Calcutta have taken over charge of the stations.. The Government in consultation with the Central Committee pro- Pose to decide upon future plans. The non-official members of the Cen tral Committee, it is expected, wi!!, before they leave for Simla tont tend the first meeting, keep them aelves acquainted with the working of the stations at their respective centres. At present every meeting of the Central Committee subse Quant to the first will be held quar- terly
