Voices from the West
O what extent are the broadcasts beamed by the BBC to Soviet countries serving any useful purpose? This is a question which has been vigorously debated in the Press and on public platforms, and the BBC have endeavoured to give some of their own onswers in a half-hour feature programme, "Through the fron Curtain," which will be heard from 4Y¥Z at 8.30 p.m. this Saturday, April 25. The fact that Russia has gone to much trouble to jam them is proof enough of the importance that the Kremlin attaches to broadcasts from Britain, and the programme puts before listeners a balanced picture of the reasons why these broadcasts go on the air at all. It explains their purpose and content, and from evidence that comes from behind the lron Curtain, whether they are getting through to the Russian and satellite people, and what effect they are having on them.
