RADIOTELEPHONE SERVICE
New Zealand To America (P.A.) AUCKLAND, March 5. The intention of the National Broadcasting Company of New York to establish a radio telephone service in New Zealand for the purpose of giving the American people a Dominion news service by radio was revealed by Mr Mervin K. Slosberg, one of its correspondents, who has arrived in Auckland. A similar service had been operating in Australia for fully a year, said Mr Slosberg, and it had increased its activities considerably since the extension of the war to Pacific zones. “The people in the United States are clamouring for news of New Zealand, especially since the creation of the Anzac area,” he stated. “There is a dearth of New Zealand news in the States, and it is to correct that lack that this service is proposed. We want to find out what you New Zealanders are doing, what you want, and to put the whole of the New Zealand story before the American people.” News of the part New Zealand people were playing in the war would be eagerly received by the American listening public. The service would be a further link in the relationship between peoples engaged in a common purpose.
