B.B.C. BROADCASTS

Sut,—I agree entirely with your correspondent, Peter Matthews, about the tone of recent B.B.C. broadcasts of air raids over enemy countries. For Heaven's sake let us keep our sense of decency and our sense of proportion ; let us look upon these raids as a necessary evil forced upon us by an unscrupulous enemy and not as " copy " for heartless rejoicing. The jaunty, gloating descriptions, indulged in so frequently of late by the B.B.C., make the average listener sick and—in their implication of callousness, lack of imagination and brutality—only add to the depression caused by the war by making one despair for the future of the world.—Yours truly, MARGARET CROMPTON. , High Tree, Park Lane, Ashstead, Surrey.
