THE BBC'S RUSSIAN SERVICE

SIR,—While one waits to hear if the BBC has taken Mr. Peter Wiles's strictures to heart and done something about the Russian service, one hopes also that Mr. Wiles will turn his attention to other ser- vices of the BBC, specifically those English-language ones addressed to the so-called uncommitted coun- tries of Asia.

He will, I think, find a state of affairs there even more disturbing, Judged by some reports that have reached me from India and BBC features to that area, one could almost think that there are only two political parties in England—Socialist and Liberal.
