South and South-East Asia
HROUGH the Colombo Plan the economically more developed members of the Commonwealth and the United States are helping the countries of South and South-East Asia to improve their standard of living. This year the Plan enters on its fifth year of operation, and it is to continue until at least 1961. The Plan is important-first, because the well-being of nearly a quarter of mankind is directly affected; secondly, because social and economic stability in the area is essential to a peaceful and prosperous world. In two NZBS feature programmes, Focus on Southern Asia, an attempt is made to answer this question. These programmes, which include the voices of Asian students studying in New Zealand under the Plan and New Zealand experts who have been to South and South-East Asia, are about the progress that has been made in raising living standards in that part of the world, and the assistance being given by New Zealand and the other donor countries. The first programme, dealing with India, Pakistan and Ceylon, will be heard from YAs and 4YZ at 9.30 a.m. this coming Sunday, October 28. The second programme (YAs and 4YZ, 9.30 a.m., Sunday; November 11) will deal with Burma, Indonesia, Malaya and some of the smaller countries in the area.
