From what followed, two things were clear: 1) the U. S. manufacturer is anxious to do his duty, but 2) he has no stomach for war economics. Significant were the results of an Elmo Roper survey of public opinion for N. A. M.: only 10% of the U.

Variety's 1940 showmanship survey failed to find any radio column worthy of a plaque. Having examined the radio section of 275 newspapers, the editors of Variety came to the snippy conclusion "that for all practical purposes there is no such thing in the United States as serious radio criticism except in this and one or two other business publications...
