"Better Than Diplomacy"

" National Radio Week " was celebrated by a program of trans-Atlantic broadcasting. Eight English stations joined by land lines and operated simultaneously by one microphone in London had the floor exclusively for an entertainment. British and American amateurs then had the right of way during alternate five-minute intervals. Henry Ford broadcasted a greeting from his Dearborn (Mich.) station. The English radio waves were amplified by Eastern commercial stations and redistributed to American amateurs. The Postal Telegraph Co. cabled to England the names of all American stations which caught the British programs. The notes of a piano playing in Newcastle and faint " Hello America " signals from Bournemouth were received by several stations. An amateur in Hull, England, picked up a service from St. Thomas' Church, Manhattan, broadcasted from Aeolian Hall.
