(a)'becauseofthepresenteconomicpositionof ourcountry,and

(b)becauseofthedesirabilityofourobtaining directexperienceinthis fieldbeforebecomingtoo deeplyinvolved.

EconomicPriority

5.Withregardtothefirst point,theChurchputsforwardtheviewthatAustraliaisto,-clayconfronted withaneconomicsituation whichisunusualforour countryandis,inmanyrespects,veryacute.Essential publicworksarebeingheld upforlackoffundsand thesamereasonwecannot providealltheschools, hospitalsandhouseswhich weneedforourincreasing population.Withallits promiseforgood,television isbymostexistingstandardsaluxury.Consequently, thereappearstobeastrong casefordeferringthefullscaleintroductionoftelevisionuntilournationaleconomyisbetterabletostand it.

6.IntheircombinedannualStatementsonSocial

MOSTREV.P.F.LYONS. Justice,theCatholicBishops ofAustraliahaveemphasised,particularlyintheir Statementof1953on"Food orFamine",thatpriorityof investment,man-powerand materialsshouldbegivento agricultureandthebasic industries(coal,iron,steel andtransport)andthat, whentheeconomicstructureofAustraliaisfully stabilised,thenisthetime toembarkonprojectswhich arelessessentialorinthe realmofluxury.

7.Letusthereforehasten slowly.Iftelevisionistobe, beattheoutsetrestrictedtothelowestpossibleminimuminregardto theareasoftelevisionand thenumberofstations,from whichwemightlearna greatdealwhichwould 'facilitatethemoreorderly andperhapsthemoreeconomicexpansionoftheservicetootherareas.

9.Furthermore,wemight learnfromEngland,withits muchgreaterpopulation, wheretelevisionwasstarted inabout1935withonestationinLondonanddevelopedveryslowlyfromthat stage.In1946,afterthewar, asecond_startwasmade andnow,sevenyearslater, onlyfouradditionalstations havebeenestablished, thoughitistruethatplans arelaidforfurtherstations.

10.Comingtothesecond point,namely,theneedto obtainexperience,wecan hardlysaythattelevisionit, newseeingthatithasbeen inoperationinGreatBritainandtheUnitedStates forseveralyears.Butitis newtoAustraliaandwe feelthat,takingalongrange view,ourcountrywould greatlybenefitfromthe operationofalimited numberofstationsinthe initialperiod,duringwhich wewouldfindoutfrom experiencemuchessential informationrelatingtoour ownproblemsinthissphere whichwecannotacquire fromtheexperienceof othercountries.

Therewould,wefeel,be agravedangerthatinthis event,thetelecasterswould lookintoeverynookand crannyoftheentertainment worldsearchingformateriel andthatthecriteriausedin theselectionofmateriel may,byforceofcircumstances,belowered.Whilst itisappreciatedthatthese commentsmayalsohavea bearingonthequestionof periodsofoperationoftelevisionstations,whichis alsoamatterspeciallymentionedinthetermsofreferenceoftheRoyalCommission,wesubmitthat theirmainrelevancyisto supportourgeneralcontentionthatourtelevisionservicesshouldbeintroduced onaverygradualbasis.

13.Itmaywellbethatfor economicreasonsitwillbe necessaryintheearlystages tocommenceservicesinthe largercapitalcities,the areasofgreatestconcentrationofpopulation,where thedemandforreceiving setswillwarranttheirpro- ductionatareasonablecost; buttheCatholicChurch wouldhopethat,astimes improveandtheexpansion oftheservicescanbeeconomicallyjustified,means willbefoundtoextendthem to television,countrydistrictswhere canplayperhapsitsmostusefulroleinbring- ingtothecountrypeople manyamenitiesatpresent largelyrestrictedtobig centresofpopulation.

14.Asalreadypointed out,welookforwardtothe greatpossibilitiesoftelevisionforreligion,education, culture,informationand entertainmentand,therefore, wesubmitunderthisheading,first,thatstations shouldberequiredtopre-sentwellbalancedprogrammeswhichwillensure adequateattentiontoeach ofthesesubjectsandprevent, undueemphasisonanypar- ticularone.Lightentertainment,forexample,has aproperplaceinourlives, butitwouldbeagreatpity iftoomuchtimeweredevotedtoitintelevisionprogrammesandtoolittleto sessionscalculatedto enlightenandupliftthe people.

SYDNEY,June11.-AJesuitpriest whohasspentthepastsixyearspromoting theFellowshipofAlcoholicsAnonymouscommonlyknownastheA.A.-described thisspecializedworkas"themostconsoling ofmypriestlylife."

HeisFatherR.J.Murphy,' whoiscreditedwithbeing theco-founderofthefeelowshipinAustralia.He believesthateverypriest, doctorandsocialworker shouldbefamiliarwiththe book,"AlcoholicsAnonymous,"whichdetailsthe casehistoriesofthefirst 100alcoholicshelpedby thefellowship.

FatherMurphystressed herethatheisprimarilyinterestedinthespiritual aspectsoftheA.A.

"Iaminterestedinthe movement,"hesaid,"becausewhenaperson becomesanalcoholic,not 'onlydoesheharmhimself physically,buthestops practisinghisreligionand endsupbyruininghislife, hischaracterandhishome."

"Itismostconsoling," FatherMurphyadded,"to seelapsedCatholicsreturn totheFaith,toseebroken marriageshealedandhomes reunited."

AccordingtoFather Murphy,about40percent ofthemembersofA.A.are Catholics.Hedescribed alcoholismasaradical diseasetowhichCelts, NorwegiansandDanesseem prone,whileotherraces,includingtheJews,seldom sufferfromit.

"A.A.isnotmeantforthe manwhogoestoafootball matchandgetsdrunk,or forwhatisknownasa heavydrinker,"Father Murphyexplained."Itisfor whatwecallthe'compulsivedrinker,'ortheone whohasreachedastage

"Doctorsarenotquite certainjustwhatthis changeis,butitseemsto belocalizedintheliver. Whenapersonreachesthis stage,thespiritsgostraight tothestomachandfrom theretothebrain.Hedevelopsanallergytoalcohol andcannotstopdrinking."

FatherMurphysaidthat fivepercentofdrinkerscan beclassedasalcoholicsto thisstrictsense.

"Anymanorwomanwho giveshimselforherself honestlyandperseveringly totheA.A.programme," thepriestsaid,"willattain sobriety.Theprogramme restsonutterhonestywith oneself,andonlyuponthis conditionhasA.A.anythingtooffertheprospectivemember."

"About75percentof thosejoiningtheA.A.," FatherMurphyadded,"are curedalmostimmediately. Fifteenpercentarecured afteracoupleoflapses,and abouttenpercentcannot becured.Thesearethose whosebrainisdamagedor whohavesomepsychosis whichisthecauseoftheir drinking."
