NEWS COMMENTARIES
Sir-Your correspondent "Don’t Talk," considers BBC commentaries should be dropped altogether or largely cut out. Why deprive interested listeners of expert analysis on the news when all the correspondent has to do is to operate his switch if he is displeased. Cyril Falls, Major Hastings, H. C. Ferraby and others speak as "voices of authority"; they are certainly not "ignorance speaking" as described by our correspondent. As for "telling that to the Marines," in reference to General MacArthur’s successful offensive in the Solomons, I have no doubt that the Marines who did the job would definitely say "Sure it was successful!"
