Sir,-I would point out that "British Visitor" is not alone in his contention that "brawlings" should not be broadcast. He has had the courage of his convictions to respectfully express his opinion through the official organ of our National Broadcasting Service and by doing so has expressed the opinion of very, very many New Zealanders and visitors other than himself to these shores. It is astonishing that his opinion was replied to by you with the assertions that he had committed a "folly," that he was "ill-mannered," that he had committed an "impudence" and that he was not at liberty to "insult" the legislature. Whilst as a matter of fact his remarks were made in a most moderate vein, it is very much to be regretted that you considered yourself free to reply in the astonishing manner which you adopted. The usual courtesy of the Press was far from apparent.
