Abstract
The following article, “Reason and the Absolute” was submitted to the Journal in the hope of arousing interest in an outstanding problem of American broadcasting. It should be read in conjunction with the vigorous reply by Mr. Howard Bell that starts on p. 199. Mr. Breitenfeld's central point is that guarantees of the First Amendment have little relation to current criticisms and actions being directed against broadcasters who possess a technological monopoly (although with economic competition) of a priceless national resource. Mr. Bell holds that freedom of speech guarantees should apply to the communication of ideas, regardless of the technology of the medium; and that flourishing economic competition should dispell fears resulting from technological monopoly.
