BROADCAST TALKS
GOVERNMENT DEFINES ATTITUDE (By Telegraph—Preßß Association] WELLINGTON, 9th September. The Government’s attitude on the Question of broadcast talks, debates, and discussion was defined in a statement by the Prime Minister (the Rt. Hon. M. J. Savage). It had to be understood that the broadcasting authorities were responsible for all broadcast transmisisons, and could not delegate this responsibility to any organisation, he said. It had been decided that in only very special cases would talks be broadcast as emanating from particular organisations. Although one-sided propaganda would not be permitted, it was intended to arrange debates and discussions on matters thought to have sufficient interest and community value. Any talks broadcast would be considered on their merits in relation to programme value.
