B. STATIONS
"NOT GETTING FAIR DEAL"
SAYS MB MANSFORD
"The B stations have not' been getting a fair deal," stated Mr A. E. Miansford when dealing with the radio Situaticin in th(e course of his election address at the Opera House last night. "I don’t blame papers like Whose We have here," Mt Mansford continued, "but I believe the metropolitan papers have had a hand in the taiatter. These papers are seeing Ibnemies to their iprofits in such an invention as wireless. It is their profits they are trying to protect, but we have to see that proper consideration ■is given to the B gflarionls. "Only .last Sunday ‘Uncle Scrim’s’ station. (1ZB) was jammed out. and I ask you if that is proper treatment in ft country like this. If .such. a thing happened in Russia, you would see headlines in the papers here.'"
The Government of New Zealand. Mir Mannford concluded, was controlling broadcasting in the same manner U.s .certain other countries were conffTflililn'lng the 1 Press, and he did not fUilimk it could justify its attitude in regard to B stations.—Manawa tri Daily Time*;
