"FREEDOM OF SPEECH"

BROADCASTING LIMITATIONS

On being asked to comment on the criticism of Mr. H. E. Holland, M.P., 1 upon, the board's refusal to broadcast his speech at the opening of the Industrial Exhibition at Duncdin, Mr. H. D. Vickcry, chairman of the New Zealand Broadcasting Board, said that there appeared to be a good deal of misunderstanding in the matter. . The terms of the board's licence required that the Radio Regulations must be observed, and one of these regulations debarred the broadcasting of controversial matter. . ' t Mr. Holland informed the board's officers on the day of the proposed broadcast that he purposed dealing' with political matters, including the Ottawa Agreement. In the circumstances, the board had no option but to abandon the idea of broadcasting the speech. Another of the Radio Regulations prescribes that the board must transmit any announcement by the Government if requested to do so.
