POLITICS ON THE AIR
PARLIAMENT spent some little time last week discussing a proposal that each of the political parties in the coming election should have the opportunity of stating its platform to the electors over the air. Under the rules now obtaining the bro adcasting of matter of a political character is not allowed. The same practice obtained for a long time in Britain, but something less than a year ago it was announced that discretionary power was to be given to the Broadcasting Corporation to broadcast controversial matter. Since then various political addresses have been given over the air. It is now announced in the "Radio Times" that these political broadcasts are to be abandoned, without reasons given. This experience probably fine its lesson for New Zealand.
