“ ANSWERING YOU ”
Sir.—At 3.30 every Monday there is an item on the short-wave called “Answering You.” which to me is by far the most interesting and important of all broadcasts. Representative people in Britain and America ask and answer important questions and discuss them, Last Monday, during a discussion on agriculture and labour. I heard that prices are regulated in Britain by pay. ing the farmer for his produce on a cost-plus basis, with a fair profit, and subsidising the retailer sufficiently to keep prices stable. No farmer earns more than £ISOO a year. Profits in excess of that figure revert to the State. A. G. Street said that this system seemed to him to embody all that farmers have been fighting for. Next Monday the subject is “Freedom.” Why can’t these programmes be rebroadcast one evening a week and some of our second-rate music cut out?— Yours, etc., EREWHON. June 8, 1943.
