RADIO ADDRESS BY CIVIL SERVANT “DISLOYAL AND INACCURATE” Wellington, October 19. An address from the Wellington national radio station on October 11, in which the newspapers were pilloried has been brought to the notice of the Minister of Education by Mr Poison (Nationalist, Stratford), who gave notice in' the House to ask Mr Fraser if he is aware that a member of the staff of one of the training colleges, speaking from 2YA, made the statement that;, “while you may hear of bombings in China, you do not hear of women and children killed by British bombing on the North-west frontiers of India,” and whether he considers it desirable that disloyal and inaccurate statements should be made by a New Zealand Civil servant through the State broadcasting system; and whether, if the facts are as stated, it is intended to allow such a condition of affairs to continue.
