"NOTHING TO FEAR"
(To the Editor,)
Sir,—Nearly all our public servants resent the appointment of high-salaried officers to the Commercial Broadcasting Service, which they feel could be better and more economically managed by the permanent and lower-salaried officers of the Post and Telegraph Department, but who among them would be hardy enough at the momeht to write to the Press about it under their own names? But they have nothing to fear, nothing to fear at all—as Mr. Savage assured us at election time and to Which 1 add—provided they do not write to the Press under their own names. , Is the Act to abolish anonymous correspondence to be a year-to-year measure aimed at Tory supporters aloneone that will expire when the Government is defeated and not remain as a rod for the backs of those who proposed it? But would it not be better if Mr. Savage directed his attention to certain election promises we have some recollection of? The proposal to restrict the liberty of the Press—"the guardian and guide of all other liberties"—is not one of them.—l am, etc, TOKY.
