BROADCAST TALKS
ATTITUDE OF GOVERNMENT DEFINED (PRESS ASSOCIATION TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, Septembers. The Government’s attitude on ft* question of broadcast talks, debater and discussion was defined in a state* ment by the Prime Minister (the B*. Hon. M. J. Savage). It had to be v»* derstood that the broadcasting aulhfl**ties were responsible for all broadcast transmissions, and could not delegate this responsibility to any organ isatrap, he said. It had been decided that » only very special cases would talks be broadcast as emanating from par* ticular organisations. • Although one-sided propaganda would not be permitted, it was tended to arrange debates and discus* siens on matters thought to have sufficient interest and community valaa. Any talks broadcast would be considered on their merits in relation to programme value.
