Mr. Potter: The point is that if there was any impropriety in this case it would seem to be on the part of the plaintiff in not informing the public at the earliest possible moment of the cancellation of the programme.
Continuing, Mr. Potter asked:
If you had not read the Telegraph, would you have broadcast?-No.
Then the public would have gone to the exhibition expecting to see Filipinos fighting local men and they would have been disappointed?They would not have been disappointed I had already announced in my pro- gramme that I had the right to make
