1.-FRANCE
Tonight is the first broadcast in this new series which aims at showing that though people of different nationalities speak different languages and have different customs and traditions, yet, being human, they are not so very different; and if they follow the same callings, astonishingly alike.
Each week listeners are to hear a member of some trade or profession in this country speaking of his life and work; and then they are to hear a member of a similar trade or profession in a foreign country speaking of his life and work.
To achieve this end Moray McLaren , of the BBC, has gone to the Continent to find representative speakers. This week he is in Paris, next week in Rome. Then he is to visit Vienna, Warsaw, Berlin, and Copenhagen, as he describes in his article on page 12, and listeners will hear a spokesman from each.
