It is proposed to purchase two next year. The six coaches which are without lighting equipment are not used as much as they should be, because of the difficulty of combin- ing them with other coaches. This is uneconomical and it is proposed next year to equip them properly.

It is hopea that next year it may be possible to have simultaneous transmission of European and Chinese program- mes. This will necessitate the announcers engagement of more bath European and Chinese and other expenses. Whether this dual programme is to be a permanent the feature or not depends on support given to it, particularly by the Chinese community. The only test by which it is possible to judge the popularity or otherwise of broadcasting is by the number of

radio receiving licences taken out:

At present the number of licences held by Europeans is 1,571 and those held by non-Europeans. of whom 95 per cent. are Chinese, 11:311.
