EDITORIAL.
Several readers have written to let me know how much they appreciate the varied style of the articles now being presented in Australasian Radio World. From near and far come contributions, some of them possibly lacking in the niceties of journalism, but all from the hearts of enthusiastic radio men just like you and me. It takes an exception to prove the rule, and so I also find that some people are not in agreement with views expressed by contributors, and so they abuse me for not exercising greater editorial supervision. I can imagine that I am going to get into really hot water for publishing Mr. Stevens' article in this issue. Paul Stevens claims that Australian radio engineers have slavishly followed American design, thereby doing the wrong thing. Personally I do not think that Mr. Stevens has presented both sides of the case, nor do I think that his arguments are all entirely sound, yet I feel that the article is well worth publishing exactly as submitted. Some of my thin-skinned friends are going to be hurt by the inferences; others may be shocked by the audacity of anyone daring to suggest that our set designers are not infallible. My courage comes from the thought that in these days of so much talk about freedoms, that my readers should have the right to freely criticise, so long as their criticism is within the bounds of reason. Those who do not agree with views expressed will be gladly afforded space to state their claims and present their cases.
