BROADCASTING POLICY
REPLY TO MR. 1101,1. AN I ). (Special to "Northern Advocate.”) WELLINGTON, This Day. Commenting on the criticism of the Leader of the Opposition, Air. It. E. Holland, upon the Broadcasting Board’s refusal to broadcast his speech at the opening of the Industrial Exhibition in Dunedin, Air. 11. 1). Vickery, 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 license required that the radio regulations be observed, and one of those regulations debarred the broadcasting of controversial matter.
Air. Holland had informed the board's officers on the day of the proposed broadcast that he proposed dealing with political matters, including the Ottawa agreement. In the circumstances, said Air. Vickery, the board had no option but to abandon the idea of broadcasting the speech.
Another of the radio regulations, said Mr. Vickery, described that the board must transmit any announcements by the Government if requested to do so.
