UNITED NATIONS WEEK
»ir,--May 4 express the thanks of My Association for the splendid issue of The Listener devoted to United Nations Week. We are indebted to the Director of Broadcasting and the staff of the NZBS for a spectacular and at the same time serious exposition of UN. The man-in-the-street may be surprised to know that the budget of the United Nations is something less than that for street-cleaning in the City of New York. There are some 2,000,000,000 people in the member states, whose lives depend on the successful working of UN; but UN cannot work successfully until a reasonable majority are prepared to vote for it, work for it, and pay for it. United Nations Week~was launched in New Zealand as part of a publicity campaign for UN. The broadcasting part of that campaign, thanks to the NZBS, has been splendid. Its effectiveness, however, will depend on the receptivity of listeners. May they be stirred to goodwill. study and vcood works!
