B.B.C. BANS

Snt,—It is strange to fmd in " A Spectator's Notebook " a protest against the refusal of the B.B.C. to permit broadcasting by eminent but- misguided members of the Peace Pledge Union.. Whatever the subject of these talks, to allow them to broadcast would give them publicity and an atmosphere of approval that would be invaluable in the propagation of the views of their organisation.

Would you, Sir, have approved had the B.B.C. allowed Sir Oswald Mosley to broadcast on—rhododendrons, were he an expert on that [Certainly, provided he confined himself to rhododendrons.—En., The Spectator.]
