ABUSE BY RADIO
STRONG EXCEPTION TAKEN BY FARMERS. PROTEST MADE TO MINISTER. (Bi’ Telegraph—Press Association.) BLENHEIM. November 17. The Blenheim branch of the Farmers’ Union resolved to forward a strong protest to the Minister of Broadcasting against “abuse levelled at farmers generally and the Farmers’ Union in particular” by the Director of Commercial Broadcasting over the air last Sunday night, and to ask the Minister to protect the farming community against such abuse in future. Objection is specially taken to Mr Scrimgeour’s description of the Farmers’ Union as "Public Enemy No. 3.”
Such attacks, it was stated, were unfair because Mr Scrimgeour was well protected and farmers had no chance of replying. The time had come to take a stand against the abuse farmers were receiving from heads of Government departments and also over the air.
