Shortwave Station Must Wait
('Per Press Association.—Copyrigh t.\ CHRISTCHURCH, This Day.
The Prime Minister, Mr Sav'age, said last night that he had not abandoned the idea of a shortwave broadcasting station for New Zealand. The question of erecting a station could stand over until the Government had other big things out of the way, ho said. Mr Savage said the Government had to handle housing 'and also the Social Security Act, and the latter involved the bringing in of hospital boards.
“With those big things we are not likely to run out of a job for a while,” he added, “and the question of beginning shortwave r'aclio broadcasts —important as it is—will have to stand over for the time being, while we are getting the more pressing things through.”
