A discussion
Whose taste should decide the look of the buildings we put up? At present our elected representatives, with or without expert advice, have power to control the siting and appearance of almost every new building, from sky-scraper to garden shed. Can a democratic, or a bureaucratic, system foster beauty—or will it, in trying to restrain ugliness, encourage mediocrity and crush imagination? Should we all be free to build what we please? Should architects be free?
These questions are discussed by: An enquirer, Marghanita Laski
An architect,

A planner,

Commander-in-Chief, Far East Land Forces at Taukkyan War Cemetery near Rangoon
The Memorial commemorates twenty-seven thousand officers and men of the Commonwealth Armies who fell in Burma and Assam during the Second World War and to whom the fortune of war denied the rites of burial or cremation customary to their faiths.
If reception conditions allow, it is hoped that this programme will include a report from Rangoon by Gerald Priestland , together with recordings made at the ceremony
