COST OF LISTENING.
Sir,-We can’t let you get away with your leader of the issue of June 18, however plausible it may read. Your case is knocked skyhigh by one fact alone, viz., that of the annual fees of 25/- one half, 12/6, suffices to pay the whole costs of the National Broadcasting Department. The other half goes to Reserves, and the Reserves at the moment total something over two millions-a very useful accretion no doubt to the Hon. Walter’s Accumulated Funds. « If you can dispose of this fact editorially go right ahead, but failure to do so proves conclusively that it just can’t be done.
EXPLOITED
(Christchurch ).
(Our "case" was, and is, that a fraction of a penny a day is a ridiculously low payment for 17 hours of broadcasting.-Ed.)
