RADIO DISCUSSION
Sir,-When I consult The Listener for my programme. in these long, and in Taupo, lonely evenings, I first look out if there is a discussion. Having no living: person here in Taupo to be able to discuss with, I wished at least I could listen to one at the radio each evening. So I was very much looking forward to the Russian anthology this evening. But helas! Mrs. Lake is prepared too well and gave her great knowledge in such a velocity that I, although I have certainly read more of Russian literature than the average person, could- not follow.. She should at least spell the name of the author. I could not even write for the book, not knowing it precisely. I think the discussions which are fully improvised are the best, Please tell Mrs. Lake to speak slower at the radio. And please put discussion over the radio as much as possible. In case you need questions for discussions here are two, which occupy me Be since, but perhaps they are too philosophical for most people: (1) ‘The religious man and the agnostic have generally the same moral basis for their actions. The religious man acts according to the revealed laws of a divine eternal authority. Wherefrom does the agnostic get his certainty of moral standards? (2) Can a man, living on a lonely island.
commit a sin?
