Editorial

Anytime there happens to be a lull in the conversation you have only to mention post-war reconstruction and you will be sure to stir up plenty of enthusiasm. Take, for example, radio trading of the future. One thought is along the lines of extension of the socialism scheme, meaning possibly a standard design of "Peoples' Receiver," of utilitarian type, produced in big quantities under Government supervision and supplied at cost to each and every householder. For contrast, there are those who plan to produce elaborate receivers of the most deluxe specification, claiming that when people start to spend their savings and their repaid war loan bonds they will want the best. From an entirely different angle, there is the view that maybe the local radio manufacturers will have to face the prospect of free-trade, standing toe to toe and slogging for the market against the competition of mass-produced receivers from overseas, selling complete at a figure which the Australian public has become to regard as the price of a couple of valves. All of the above thoughts are possibilities, even as there is a possibility that conditions will return to exactly the same stage where we left off as the war became intensified. No matter what the answer may be we feel a happy confidence in the ability of the members of the Australian radio trade to face up to circumstances and overcome all obstacles, even as they did in the early days of their progress.
