FREEDOM OF B STATIONS
"Rather Late To Do Anything" FARMERS' UNION OPINION A plea for the" retention of the free B-class stations was contained in a letter received at its meeting in Hastings on Saturday from the Dominion secretary of the union. The letter asked for support in coUsolidating forces and sugg/ested the forming of listeners' groups. The union was interested in freedom" of speech and opinion, the letter pointed out. "It is rather late in the day, to do anything," remarked Mr CampbelL There were now only five stations left and- the Government was determined to take them all over. i Mr C. R. Edgecombe: But it is not compulsory to sell out to the Government. Mr H. J. McKeesick: No, but the Government is making the restrictions so tight that it, is difficult for the stations to keep going. Mr R. E. Talbot : It is just hke the old conversion loans some years agp (laughter). Mr Edgecombe: It i.s certainly rather late to set up a listeners' association. The letter was merely "received."
