BRAINS TRUST.
Sir,- What is wrong with this "sanctified imported English article" as one of your correspondents describes the BBC Brains Trust? I think it is a privilege to hear the opinions of noted. men and women of the United Kingdom, as well as those of other countries: for instance, Mayor La Guardia and the Polish Foreigy Minister. "Sthpid" asks why New Zealand cannot produce the equivalent. J think New Zealand has, in that. excellent session the A.E.W.S. dis ssion group presents weekly, and although they have not discussed more than one subject in an evening,.1-think they.compare very. favourably with the BBC Brains Trust. But have other listeners noticed the deep tone of the Brains Trust broadcasts? This often makes hearing difficult and a strain. I have wondered whether the fault has been in the recording, or whether 2YA produces a deeper tone in all of its broadcasts than 1YA.

Sir,-I am glad to get the BBC Brains Trust direct from 2YA-and could we have less "Americana"? I know it is to cheer. up homesick servicemen, but many Americans approve of a good BBC
programme.
