Television
Sir.—lt is evident that far from hastening the advent of television the Government is availing itself of any excuse to delajt the actual start of a full service here in New Zealand. lam not so foolish or uninformed as to imagine that television can be established overnight but timidity and fumbling only serve to make the Dominion an object of amusement and wonder to more progressive places. * Australia, for example, has had television up to world standards technically and otherwise for years, and yet b in a statement issued yester- j_ day Mr Kinsella again makes, q almost fond use of the word n “experimental!” That New a Zealand has serious social , c and financial problems to o solve cannot be denied. By 0 its delaying tactics the 0 Administration believes ap- a parently that it can avoid c adding yet another to its im-if pressive list of "headaches.” I 0 —Yours, etc., I r W.H.T. | March 16, 1961. ! e
