PEOPLE AS JURY.
USE OF RADIO SERVICES. PRIME MINISTER'S CHALLENGE. (By Telegraph.—Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, Thursday. As an offset to the suggestion that the Government is getting s|»ecial opportunities for putting its case before radio listeners and that the Opposition is thus handicapped, the Prime Minister, Mr. Savage, made a sporting offer in the House of Representatives to-uight. "I wonder," he said, "if the Opposition will fall in with the idea that they should take half an hour a week .to say what they want to say. We will have half an hour a week in the same way. What is going over the air to-day is news. That cannot be contradicted, and the Opposition are getting more than their share of radio. It might be possible to make an arrangement suitable to them and suitable to ourselves, and ju«t let the people be the jury."
