"CAT IS OUT"
1 ZB COMMENT ON “JAMMING” t Special to “Northern Advocate.”] AUCKLAND, This Day. Comments, strongly critical of the attitude taken by Mr Adam Hamilton, former Postmaster-General, in his explanation of the jamming of the Friendly Road station, IZB, were made this morning by the secretary of the station, Mr Harry Bell. “Well, the cat is out of the bag at last, and it is certainly a repulsive animal,” said Mr Bell. “Uncle Scrim will not return to the Dominion till the 20th, and, in the meantime, the only remark we feel disposed to make is to deplore the fact that, for a time* the direction of radio broadcasting was in .the hands of gentlemen capable of such extreme foolishness of policy as the jamming incident. We feel there is no necessity for us to comment on Mr Hamilton’s unwarranted attack of Uncle Scrim’s doctrine of the Friendly Road.”
The investigations of the new Government, Mr Bell added, proved, beyond question, that the radio set found at Newmarket was deliberately on the IZB wave-length and installed there for that purpose, and the result of the official investigation was a definite justification of charges which the station believed justifiable before any investigation was ever mooted.
