ENEMY STATIONS
Sir,-It would be interesting to learn by whose orders the names of the Berlin and Rome stations broadcasting in English have been cut out of The Listener’s list. Of course we know that the news from both sources is for the most part false or exaggerated, but listeners will resent fiercely any Nazi-like attempt to restrict their choice of stations. More news and less commentaries would be an appreciated improvement in the BBC programmes.
SCRUTATOR
(Pio Pio).
Sir,-As a regular subscriber to your publication, and as one who takes a keen interest in foreign news bulletins in English, I should like to inquire why you do not now publish details of German news bulletins in English.
CURIOUS
(Waipiata).
(There are good reasons why balanced and well-informed people should wish to know what the enemy is saying. Therefore the law leaves them free to listen. There are equally ood reasons why the excitable and the illnformed should not be disturbed by lies. Those in the first group will have no difficulty in finding the stations they want. We cannot accept the responsibility for helping to disturb the others.-Ed.).
