MISS HOWARD’S BROADCAST
Sir, —As I listened-in to Miss M. Howard’s (Socialist M.P. for Sydenham) broadcast over the National stations on November 1, I wondered whether there is any limit to the type of matter she is prepared to talk about, not only in Parliament, but to go to further lengths in broadcasting. Her particular theme was motherhood, and it can safely be sa.d that much of what she put over the air would be listened to by young children and youth. She surely outmoded all her Parliamentary talks on this matter as she expounded to the radio public on these things which are so personal and private that one’s own doctor, in the privacy of surgery or maternity hospital, would be reticent concerning such matters. No doubt she gets her Inspiration from the Karl Marx doctrine of these things which are foreign to the British ideas regarding such matters, where they arc relegated to their proper sphere, conserving individual pr.vacy. It was noticeable that the Press did not record these certain matters, no doubt, because of their indelicacy. May 1 submit that many listeners-in would also esteem them as such.—Yours, etc, "A N.Z. WOMAN." Palmerston North, 3.11.46.
