Sir-I should like to add my protest to those of your previous correspondents at the curtailment of A. J. Nixon’s splendid talks on the Family and Society. It
is sadly ironic that, at a time wheh more or less veiled attacks on the family are frequent, a voice raised in its defence should be silenced through the wellmeaning but misguided zeal of an organisation pledged to support it. It is difficult to see to what these women took exception. Do they consider the family not a suitable subject for radio discussion? Yet it is a constant subject for women’s session discussion © panels, ‘usually with far less scientific objectivity and clear thinking than Mr. — Nixon brought to, the problem. It is to be hoped that the ban. will be lifted and this most excellent’ séries. heard from all centres-it is too good to be heard from: one station only.
