CONTROVERSIAL TOPICS
Sir,-I have just heard an excellent discussion from 2YA on "State aid to private schools." I am sure the decision to permit the discussion of such a potentially explosive topic was both wise and courageous. The explosive topics are precisely those that need to be aired and are most often avoided for fear of offending one or other section of the community. Surely one of the-tokens of an adult mind is the abilityto discuss these very problems sanely and reason ably. ‘ Let us hear both sides by all means. while yet we can, and for a future subject may I suggest that the NZBS help us to get at the truth about Russia-or as near to the truth as we can. What on earth does she want? Why can’t we make any headway with her? Are we to believe Henry Wallace, Professor Bernal and J. B. S. Haldane or, on the other hand, Churchill, Bevin, Truman and the Pope? Now is the time to make some attempt to answer these questions. It will be too late when the bombs burst.
