Description
Excerpt from The British Commonwealth and the Future: Proceedings of the Second Unofficial Conference on British Commonwealth Relations, Sydney, 3rd-17th September, 1938
The second channel Of in?uence is that Of the people Of the country in which the Conference is held. Through their local Press they read more of the proceedings and learn more about the personalities Of the Conference than can c1t1zens of other parts Of the Commonwealth. Many of them have the advantage of meeting some Of the visit ing delegates personally, or Of hearing them upon the platforms of various political and social organizations. In this connexion, broadcasting has immensely enlarged the power Of the spoken word, spreading it among a far wider audience than could possibly hear a lecture or after-dinnerspeech. Apart from the three broadcasts on the work Of the Conference included by the British Broadcasting Corporation in its Empire short-wave programmes, a large number of visiting delegates to the Conference were invited to broadcast by the Australian Broadcasting Commission or commercial stations in Australia, both during the Conference itself and after its proceedings were ended.
