Radiodiffusion-The New Propaganda WeaponN .E.F. LECTURE

At the meeting of the New Era Fellowship at the Stakesby Lewis Hostel on 24th August, Mrs. J. Meissenheimer delivered a lecture on “ Radiodiffusion” —known also as “ Re-diffusion” , “ Wired Wireless,” and “ Wire Broadcasting” . Radiodiffusion, the speaker said, is of comparatively recent development and its application to everyday life has not been very widespread.

The ordinary wireless set consists of three essential parts: the receiving section, the amplifying section and the loudspeaker. The receiving section picks up the wireless waves broadcast from the studio, the amplifier strengthens the sound and the loudspeaker makes it possible for the listener to hear the sound. By means of knobs provided, it is possible to tune in to various sta­tions, regulate the loudness and switch the set on and off. With wireless waves travelling through the air, it is possible under favourable conditions, to pick up stations broadcasting from all over the world.

RADIODIFFUSION D IF F E R E N TRadio diffusion is another thing al­

together. Briefly, there is one receiver and one amplifier with several loud­speakers connected by means of wires. Each loudspeaker can be fitted with its own volume control and on-off switch so that many listeners can enjoy the programme received by the receiver by means of tWir own loudspeaker. With specially built receiver units, more than one radio programme can be received at the same time, and if each loudspeaker is equipped with a special programme selector switch, it is possible for the owners of the loudspeakers to have a choice of more than one programme. The difference between this type of re­ception and ordinary wireless reception is that the listener cannot tune in to the stations himself, but has to rely on what programmes are being sent through the wires to his loudspeaker; further he has not the same range of programmes to choose from as the ordi­nary listener, as radiodiffusion sets cannot send an unlimited number of programmes through the wires.

It is possible to incorporate a micro­phone _und gramophone attachment in Mn-; RytV'llT k o i t : V apeecli and m'aBic can be sent to the loudspeakers in

addition to programmes picked up from ordinary broadcasting studios This sys­tem can therefore function as a private, internal means of providing radio pro­grammes, as any programmes put over by means of the microphone and gramo­phone attached cannot be picked up by means of ordinary wireless sets as they do not travel through the air like those broadcast from the studios.

ITS USE IN EUROPEIn practice, special receiving stations

are built to pick up programmes broad­cast from all over the world. These pro­grammes are then relayed to control stations where adjustments are made to improve the tone and clarity of the reception. The programmes are then sent on to various sub-stations where they are amplified. From the sub­stations, wires radiate to all the houses which are equipped with loudspeakers instead of ordinary receiving sets.

As this system is only efficient over limited distances, it is not an economi­cal proposition to wire up an area with fewer than 16,000 inhabitants. In other words, only urban areas can be equip­ped thus. The system is widely used in Holland, where 50% of the total listen­ing population receives its radio pro­grammes in this manner. This actually amounts to 80% of the urban licensed listeners since the system cannot be installed in sparsely populated rural areas. In England, about 3% of the licensed listeners are served by means of radiodiffusion and in Switzerland about 16%. The system is also widely used in Russia but the extent of its use is not accurately known. Just before the outbreak of the war, the Nazis were planning to substitute radiodiffusion for wireless reception to the German people, If it is remembered that radio- diffusion programmes cannot be picked up on ordinary receivers and that radio­

diffusion subscribers are not able to tune in to their own stations, it is easy to understand why the Nazis were so anxious to introduce it. When the Ger­mans invaded Holland, they took over control of the radiodiffusion stations there, thus cutting off 50% of the total and 80% of the urban listening popula­tion from communication with the Allies.

THE SOUTH AFRICAN SCENEThe South African Government has

not lagged far behind the Germans in realising the vaJue of radiodiffusion as a propaganda weapon, and the latest report of the S.A.B.C. recommends that this form of radio reception be made available to the African population. The report stresses the fact that by means of radiodiffusion the otherwise unreach­able illiterate masses can be contacted and “ educated” .

If such a system were installed in the reserves and locations, obviously there would be no attempt made to pick up overseas programmes for the benefit of the Africans. Special programmes in the various Bantu languages would prob­ably be sent straight through the wires to the loudspeakers without first going through the air, since the programmes would be designed for Africans only.

The lecturer pointed out that the “ education” would be done in a very subtle manner with the employment of various liberals amongst the Europeans and certain African intellectuals as the teachers. The danger lay in the possibi­lity of propaganda being well disguised, and it was easy to imagine how news of events like the recent strike on the Rand would be presented to the people.

LOCATIONS AND HOUSING SCH EM ES

It was also pointed out that locations and “ housing schemes” were ideally suited to the installation of radiodiffu- sion systems as the town-planning, such as it was, was essentially geometric, and there would be no difficulty in wiring up the houses and huts with the loudspeakers required.

In the discussion which followed, the extreme danger of the new method of propaganda, was stressed. I t was felt, however, that the Herrenvolk could at

present still do without this closed sys­tem of propaganda. It had its police and other means of keeping things under control, and it was only when all other means had failed, and the ruling- class lost its grip on the oppressed, that this elaborate new weapon would be employed.

HERRENVOLKISME IN AFRIKAANSE BOEK

(Van ’n Korrespondent)’n Afrikaner bekende van niy het

my verlede week gese dat hy een van die lede was wat die sitting van die Skiereilandse Sendingraad bygewoon het. Hy het meegedeel dat die Nie- Blanke daar druk bespreek is.

Die algemene mening wat lede toe- gedaan is, is dat die Nie-Blankes in die laaste tyd onvatbaar vir aanwerwings- praaties is, alhoewel Blanke lede hulle baie vriendelilk genader het. Die meer- derheid van die Nie-Blankes wou glad nie luister nie. Die N.G.K. is diep begaan oor hiordie vyandige houding van die Nie-Blankes. Dit skyn asof hulle verbitterd is. Hulle kan egter nie se of die rerbittering teen die N.G.K. is, of teen Afrikaners of teen Blankes in die algemeen nie.

ERSATZ KUNSHy het verder verklaar dat hulle

onder andere Afrikaanse boeke vir Nie- Blanke skole bespreek. Dit is besluit om voort te gaan met die keuring en suiwering van Afrikaanse boeke, want dit veroorsaak net wrywing en vyandig- heid en ’n afkeer vir Afrikaans as taal en letterkunde.

Hulle het aan die hand ged00” dat letterkunde wat die axsakkSre en ge- sonke y as---va.il Nie-Blanke as tenia h et uit die skole geweer moet word.

My antwoord was dat dit hoog tyd is dat die Afrikaanse boeke versuiwer word van alle Herrenvolkisme. Die- selfde goeie boeke moet vir Blankes en Nie-Blankes dien. Ook het ek byge- voeg dat skrywers alle reg het om Nie- Blankes uit te beeld, al is dit die laag- gesonkes, dog een vereiste is dat hulle ware kuns moet lewer. En die Nie- Bianke JSarakters moet as mense be- handel word, en nie soos mens-ape nie.

(Broadcast at Morning Prayers - -iovember 29th. 1949)• >

Tomorrow is St. Andrew's bay, and 1 1. Andrew is always remembered as the friend of our i<ord who brought others to Jesus; he was, in fact, the first Christian missionary, and his season has always been assoc­iated with the thougnt of missionary work. Throughout the Anglican Communion and in some other Cnurches as well, the day before ,t. ijidrew's Lay is observed as a special day of thanksgiving for what has-been accomplished and of intercession for what still remains to

be done in the mission field by the Church of God.There is a good deal of ignorant and confused thinking about tue aim of the missionary and there are many who attribute to him false ideas and t.hen proceed tn denounce them. This orning, let us for a few mo-

«

ments find out what he is trying to do. As God^s earthly minister,the missionary is not concerned 1th any particular race or group,but to all he bases his teaching on that of his ..aster when H- -as onearth, and that is summed up in four words: The Fatnerhood of God- and the implication of that is the brotherhood of -<ian. That doppnot mean that all men are necessarily equal, but it does mean thatuod l^ves all his children, of whatever race or colour, eaually. Italso means that, because all are children ot the same Father they aremembers of the same family and should have Christian love one for theother. , o, too, our Lord's death on the ^ross Drought redemptionto. all and not to some. "I believe in God the i'atner .ho made me anaall the v.orldj I believe in Gou the Con who redeemed me and allmankind1. hen he "reached this doctrine of the Fatherhood of God,

iour bord was giving the Jews a new conception of God, and it. was one / that, at first, tney found difficult to learn. Cut our ^ord pract­ised what He preacned and gradually people began to see tnat the only barrier between men was not that of race or language but tnat between taose who loved and served Lrod and those who did not. hFor ye are a U sons- of Gou througn faith in hirist Jesus. For a? many of you as were baptised into Christ did out on Christ. There is

neither Jew nor ^-reek, there is neither bond nor free, there is

neither male nor female; for ye are all one In Cnrist Jesus." (Gal.

iii. 27-28)It is natural: that "like" should go rith "like"; that similarity of interests, habits, traditions, manners and customs snould draw men together. Xt is hot natural that dissimilarity of these tilings snould produce hatred, repression and oppresion. . Every community is made ut> of all kinds of people who, by mutual respect and friendliness ana by active co-operation bridge tneir differences and manage to live han-nily together and to enjoy the good things of life to which each has brought his contribution. This.is true whetner of a family, a village, a race or a nation. I ^ s h o u l ^ n o t ^ e aiffle.lt for the races of this country to live hazily/together if each accorded to the other that same mutual respect and friendly understanding and sympathy. "Like11 would still go with ’'like'1, but all would work together for the good of all, each bringing his contribution for the general welfare. Each would have the opportunity to live his life to the lull and to use to the utmost those gifts wnich God has given him. it would be left for ea.cn man to find his own level without let or hindrance and no man would be penalised only on the grounds of his race or colour. x It is this doctrine whicn the missionary teaches - uot that all snould mix eaually with all (that does not haooen even amongst Europeans I) but that each child of God should be given recognition as such and should.be allowed to use freely tne gifts bestowed uoon him by his

Father.Let me finish with some words of a great African who was resoectedby all who knew him - Lr. Aggrey. he says:

"Colour oreludice weakens as one realises that beneath the outward differences there are fundamental resemblances and

• identities between men of various colours. The Christian, when he is true to the spirit of' his master sees in all men toe potential son of Sod - brothers in Christ - he sees men as Christ sees them, and tnen racial prejudice cense, t be.

Dear Madam,

With reference to our telephone conversation this r.ominp I am sending you herewith one copy each of three memoranda which the Institute prepared on "Rediffu°ion Services for Non- Europeans" . You will note that they were ->rppared several yeprs ago so that some of the information given is out of date. However they vrere used recently by the Department of Native Affairs, and wi fpel confident that our Institute's pction was tartly responsible for the recent decision to start a rediffuslon service in Orlpr.*o.

Incidentally the Institute fepls that the Proposed fee of 5/- a month for this service is very high considering the small income of on-Eurooesn families end we have expressed the opinion that 2/6d would be a much fairer ch.°rge.

^ou msy r®t»in the copies of ’ur remorsnda I have discovered that our stocka are not completely depleted, thank youso much for offering to payffor them. The total cost, including postge, is l/7d. *

Beste Tommie,

dankie vir jou skrywe van 29 Junie waaroo ek nou eers antwoord weens my afwesigheid in Ratal en drukke werk sedert my terug- keer. Ek waardeer jou brief bale veral daar ek weet hoe besie: j alle ' was.

Dankie ook vir die nuttige inligtinR, nutti - m a r natuurlik nie verblydend nie, nA Tommie? Wat die redifusie betref, skyn dit dorem so janmer te wees dat daar met so 'n balangrike niddel om die Naturelle bevolking op te voed, geeloer word. En on te dink dat hul 4oontlik 5/6 per week van Hatirelle sal verwag, i3 darem taamlik on- redelik, nie waar nie? Maar wat ook al die geval is, Tommie, stoot •n oietjie die saak asseblief ou vriend. Ttssen ons gese, voel ek dear’s vertraging in die Publisiteitsafdeling wat diA saak betref.

Ek is ook jammer om te hoor dat die "Landsdiens-skema" maar soos harraan3drup vordor maar ek weet dat jy in dii rigting alles doen wat daar te doen is. Wan, ons <rrona is so dierbaar dat elke moontlike met-de aangewend moet ./ord om dit te red. Ek sien 'n predicant in Queenstown het onlangs gese dat sou pure v~rmetolheid van die Queens- to«n-bewonera wees om vir refin te bid wanneer hul norraaalweg toelaat dat die water »/at in re^ntye val aornmer see to* vloei en dit eers nadat die spoelende water 'n klorap kosbare p-rond opgeslak het.

Terlooos mag ek net meld dat die Instituut se belangstelling in die "Landsuiens-sk«ma" bloot is omdat one e;raag sal sien dat die Naturelle op elke moontlike wvse gehelp moet word om homself te heln - ons is -lie van voornene om enigsins 3elf in te gryo nie. Ek verwvs hier na jou vrees dat ons straks die saak "top heavy" sal wil maak met "boys dabs" e.d.m. Maar jy W *n bietjie la^,Tommie, want hoe kan 'n mens ’n din? "top heavy" maak wat gladnie bQstaan nie?

Nogm als baie dankie vir jou brief en jou oereidwilli&kdid om altyd te help waar jy kan.

Hartlike groete aan Mevrou Coertze, die jon^span en jouself,

REDIFFUSION

I had a discussion with Mr. Stmpson, Publicity Officer of the Depertment of Native Affairs, on Saturday, 12th Fe­bruary, 1§49, on the question of redlffuslon. He informed me that the S.A.B.C. hsd referred the matter to the Native Affairs Department for a full report on the possibillties of s rediffusion service for non-Europeans. The question of the costs was al60 to be considered by the Native Affeir« Department.

The Department had not yet submitted this infnrmation

to the S.A.B.C.Mr. Sampson's personal opinion was that the costs in-

\

volved would be so high that the Government would not at this Juncture set up a redlffuslon service.
