ELECTION BROADCASTING.
The broadcasting programme appears to have been carefully devised so that the National party will not be able to get its message over the air to the"' electors. The first speaker is Mr. Savage to-night. On a Thursday night most people are at home and able to listen to the wireless, so they couM all hear Mr. Savage. Mr. Hamilton, however, is ta speak on Friday night. This is a recognised shopping night, when a lot of employees will be away from home and a lot of others will be shopping. Presumably the same procedure will be followed with the other speeches. This may be good tactics, but a lot of people will wonder why the Oovernment is so anxious to prevent Mr. Hamilton's statement from being heard by most of the people. After all, of course, Hitler does not like the Germans' to hear the opposition at all. I suppose that we aTe lucky in a country which follows his method so closely that the National party should he given even this opportunity
FAIR PLAY.
