LUXURY IMPORTS.
Sir,-Considering the nation’s need of minimising the import of luxuries not essential to the war effort, may I put forward a suggestion whereby the import of gramophone records might be cut down by one half? If the gramophone were constructed so that the turntable would rotate anti-clockwise as well as clockwise all the NBS’s jazz records could be used twice-from the edge to the middle and from the middle to the edge. Owing to the emancipated nature of modern dance music the same effect could be produced in either of these ways, thus doubling the value of every disc. As we all know, no classical music recordings are now being imported by the shops, only popular numbers, so this would cut down imports by
a half.
