Postmaster General Hays sends Mr. R. B. Howell to Europe to investigate radio--Mr. Howell finds a telephone newspaper in Budapest that has been in operation since 1894--Broadcasting in England--Broadcasting in British East Africa--Radiophone on twenty-five meters--Short Wave Telegraphy and telephony--Marconi experiments with a one meter wave--Broadcasting from the German Government Station at Königswursterhausen, near Berlin--The Telefunken Radio Museum Receiving radio at the rate of 2,000 words per minute!--"Telefon Hirmondo" in Hungary--Listening to Wagner's "Walkyrie" on the "Telefon Hirmondo" as being produced at the Budapest Opera House--Very little being done in radio in Austria--Receiving time signals from Eiffel Tower in Paris on a six inch loop antenna--Vacuum tubes much cheaper in France--Radio on the Bourse in Amsterdam--Some interesting data on vacuum tubes abroad as compared to this country.After having discussed radio as practiced in the United States and the liberal manner in which the Government is developing the art for the use of the people, it is well to glance at Europe and see what is being done there. In most European countries the amateur and novice have few rights. Radio is looked upon to a considerable degree as a weapon of espionage, and therefore suspicious European countries take good care to control every phase of it.
