added, to have all the new trans- mitters in full working order by the Coronation, but sufficient pro- gress would have been made to provide greatly improved reception In every part of the Empire.

"Arnericans are tremendously keen listeners," he said. "We get many thousands of letters from them every years, giving, helpful data about programme reception, and their contributions equal the number we receive from the Em- pire."
