RACE BROADCASTS
Sir,-Intelligent perséns realise that "almost hourly records of stale news"as "Backfire" calls them, are necessary because we do not all work the same hours. Not having a radio in the cowshed, the 8.45 a.m. news is the first I can hear, and although it may be a repetition of earlier broadcasts, it is not stale to me.
| It is nice to know that "we got through the last war quite well without news broadcasts"-also race broadcasts I would remind "Backfire’-but a million of the flower of manhood did not "get through the last war" at all, and millions more will not get through this one. What of the next 25 years? I say definitely that as long as the people of the United Nations consider sport of more importance than world affairs, we shall have recurring wars.
