High Praise For the "Radio Record"

To the Editor : Sir-I feel I must express my appreciation of the .great improvements made in your paper recently and the splendid eervice you ‘are now giving to New Zeaiad listeners, with complete programmes of Australian and New Zealand. stations snd also short-wave sations. The az rangement whereby . you publish ‘the B.B.C. short-wave proziammes is of -woncerful assistance to me. as I am an enthusiastic short-wave listener, having an eight-valve all-waver which gets everything worth while, I wag very pleased to see the publication of the German skort- -wave stations, New Zealand and Australian zone programmes in the "Radio Record’ this week. I hope you wiil be able to keep ‘this up; as I had revcived a.-December programme from the German station authorities ahd was wishing I ‘could- get further programmes, your enterprise has now made this unnecessary.’ ° : The announcement of the new schedule for. the Moscow station was very timely, as it enabled me to hear the first of the rrogrammes on January 8 at 10 p.m., and your notice this week of the special talk for New Zealanders by Max Riske was really express news and "will be keenly listened to by me at 11 p.m. Sunday, as the 4 p.m. broadcast will not be, received . here, The short-wave notes are. algo very much appreciated, being very up to date, and for owners of all-waye sets the present guide for listening-especially for

vew. owners. I am pleased that you realise the increasing number of short‘wave listeners, and trust that you will continue to cater for them as well as at present, and New. Zealanders will. be. abie to look. on the "Radio Record" ag the premier wireless journal of any country. Wishing you every success. -I am, ete. » ALL-WAYE. Westyort.

Ring Out the Old: See: N. Z. Parliament Unidressed Before Australian Congress. HE sere; the yéllow leat of Nev Zealand has.: " supplanted’ the vigorous, more intelli;. gent, more responsiblé* * tem ii bership of the House of earlier : parliamentary in "| Ba

days, according to Mr. Leicester Webb, leader writer for the’ "Christchurch "Press," : and ‘political -lecturer ‘at station 3YA: His views -on the decline of the quality of the Domi nion’s politician s ft

were fearlessly ‘expressed ° last week in Melbourne. at the congress of the Australian and New Zealand Association for~-the Advancement of Science. Reasons which he gave for the fall in quality were the insecurity of political life, dependence’ on "party.support, decline in the part of Parliament in government, and the increase in the average age of members. -Furthermore, there had been a deplorable reduction in professional and _ business brains in the House in the last few. years, and membership was. now almost reduced to "‘small farmers over 60, education above elementary stage a disadvantage." It is certainly no compliment to New Zealand to-have its administrators. described thus abroad, but Mr. Webb has sufficient judgment and wisdom to make such statements only if they are justified. Those who have enjoyed his talks over the air know. how. keen is his mental penetration of politics as they are in both New Zealand and overseas. There is a twinkle of humour in his talks too, which makes’ the sad story of our parliamentary lifea little more bearable. Perhaps when he returns from Australia he will have something with which to cheer New Zealand, ' if the scope of the Association ‘for the Advaricément of Science can ‘bé extended to include’ the purging of parliament.
