CORWIN OR BEETHOVEN?
Sir-An Auckland listener has been driven to protest because a favourite musical item advertised in the programme was displaced by Norman Corwin’s talk on "One World." It is regrettable that "Freude" missed hearing a piece of music to which he had apparently been looking forward, but even more js it to be regretted that "Freude" found this subject of "One World" of "merely topical interest." To him in his noble (?) isolation the distress of this post-war world and men’s efforts to find’ a means of relieving it may seem very trivial matters. But to anyone who listens even with half an ear to the news, it is obvious that the world situation requires urgent attention and speedy solutions to its many problerns if the rather shaky peace we have achieved is to be maintained. Hence jt is (to my mind) imperative that we should, as many of us are able, consciously strive towards a world-wide
brotherhood of men. And for this reason I welcome Mr. Corwin’s timely and stimulating address. If "Freude". will bother to read it, now that The Listener has so kindly published its full text, he will find in it much useful food for thought. And perhaps next time we ate privileged to listen to such a fine speaker "Freude" will more willingly forgo any musical. treat he had promised himself and listen with rather more attention than he appears to have done on this occasion.
