Editorial

At the moment of writing, the future, to put it mildly, is obscure. Nobody can possibly imagine that the prospects are rosy, and so I have been doubly pleased to find that my readers have expressed their confidence in me so positively by renewing subscriptions. At the moment our list of direct subscribers is the highest it has ever been in the history of the publication. New subscriptions have come along steadily during the past month and quite a considerable proportion of these have taken advantage of the special offer of £1 for two years! Such expressions of confidence have spurred me to make every effort to safeguard the future. Precautions have been taken, and even a direct hit on the office by a 500-lb. bomb will not stop the old "Radio World" from coming out on time every month. But I feel that it is up to me to do my bit for the national effort, and so I am at present engaged on a matter directly connected with the war effort. This means the temporary suspension of the laboratory service, and may mean delays in the queries service, but I am sure that readers will appreciate the difficulties of the moment. V for Victory! A. G. HULL.
