Canadian Broadcasting
Carefully formulated proposals for the full control of radio broadcasting in Canada have been drawn up by the Canadian Legion, an organisation of ex-service men, comprising over 700 branches with a paid up membership of more than 60,000. It stands, it says, for the development of a national united spirit in Canada and wishes first of all to state its conviction that radio broadcasting in Canada should be definitely Canadian in character and should be utilised to the fullest extent to establish a Sense of Canadian national unity within the British Commonwealth. In any circumstances the legion insists that the duty devolves upon the Government to establish some sort of control which will definitely eliminate anti-British propaganda from being broadcast in Canada and voices a protest at "the overwhelming of the Canadian listener by the flood of programmes from powerful stations of the United States, which are frequently heavily charged with foreign propaganda." We want to inculcate the same national spirit here. The wireless problem does not effect us, but we can do a lot by patronising "movies" and "talkies" made in the Empire.
