Nevertheless, people In countries where independent sta- tions and broadcasts are allowed may glimpse conditions that will obtain should the "eventuality” materialise,

Mr E. W. Ogilvie, Director- General of the B.B.C., recently outlined the work of the British radio system, explaining that "this is the first radio war, the first war in which broadcasting is a vital part,"

Ogilvie continued. "Our monitoring service has been expanded rapidly to meet war needs, and it now picks up the ceaseless traffle of the ether throughout the day and night. It records some 500,000 words daily, in some-30 languages. It ashes urgent items by telephone or teleprinter to the appropriate departments of the Government for translating, sliting and analysing.
