Fair Play
"HE BBC programme on Malaya was one of the best I have heard for a long time. It was, in the first place, well produced, with many voices and points of
view clearly, and not coldly, expressed. Compiled by Commander John Proud and Dr. Victor Purcell, it justifies its sub-title: A Critical Examination of the Problems in Malaya Today. It was an excellent idea to have the opposing Chinese and Malayan points of view expressed by leaders of those national groups, and any doubt the listener may have had at the expression of the British point of view solely through the mouths of knights-or possibly baronets-was dispelled by the use of the Malayan student with his trenchant criticism of some points of British policy, notably the suppression of an opposing newspaper, the punishment of whole villages and conscription without, in some cases, parliamentary representation. That such criticism should be broadcast by the BBC is perhaps the clearest evidence of the determined fair-mindedness of this programme and of the people who com-
piled it.
