England Or Britain?
To the Editor, " New Zealand Listener." Sir-Might I suggest that as "The Listener" is the official organ of the National Broadcasting Service, a Government institution, you ought to guard against slipshod phraseology. In the current number you state (on page 4) that " England declared War on Germany on August 4, 1914." Great Britain was the country that declared War and not England, which is a part of Great Britain. In these dangerous days, the sense of Empire Unity is to be stressed and not diminished, as the phrase complained about has a tendency to do. Yours. etc..
