Delegates to the International Broadcasting Union at present meeting in London were last night the guests ot the Government at a dinner given at Lancaster House. During his speech the PostmasterGeneral (Sir E. Kingsley Wood), who is the president, said that one exceptionally difficult question with which the union had to deal was that of tho uso of the telephone and broadcasting tor international propaganda, whether political or commercial. He called to mind that at one of its meetings last year the union adopted a resolution to the effect that the systematic broadcasting of programmes which were destined specially for listeners in another country and were the subject of protest from broadcasting authorities in that country was an inadmissible act from the point of view of good international relations and should be discontinued. In his opinion that resolution was thoroughly sound, and he ventured to hope that the union would continue to use its influence to secure its general application.
