CORRESPONDENCE

Local Mysteries of Broadcasting

To the Editor, “China Mail"] Dear Sir, May I, through the medium of your paper, ask the local Broadcasting Committee couple of questions?

1

Last night a piano solo by Mr. Lindsay A. Lafford was cut into in order to allow Big Ben to be broadcast, and two songs, part of! a recital by Mrs. J. Anderson Mil- ler, were cut entirely to allow the broadcast of Mr. Somebody-or Other's band from Claridge's Hotel, London.

My questions are:-

(1) Would it have mattered half a hoot if the broadcast of Big Ben striking two. available on 365 days a year, had been foregone for one night, to allow Mr. Lafford to finish his item?

(2) Was it quite fair to a local artiste of the calibre of Mrs. An- derson Miller to forego a part of her item for the benefit of relay- ing an elegant rendering of "Pop Goes the Weasel" or some
