“TOO CLOSE TO THE WIND.”
LECTURER SHUT OFF.
(Per Press Association.—Copyright.) CHRISTCHURCH, This Day,
The opinion that the censorship of broadcast addresses in New Zealand by unqualified persons was absurd, was expressed by Professor J. Shelley, at a meeting of the Imperial Culture Society recently. He saidi a university lecturer’s address was cut off, the explanation by the announcer being: “1 thought you were sailing too close to the wind.”
“And that,” said Professor Shelley, 1 ‘ was said to a university lecturer by a man whose only qualification for speaking was a clear voice for the announcing of the price of cabbages.”
