Appeal on behalf of the Council for the Preservation of Rural England, by the EARL OF CRAWFORD AND
BALCARRES
Listeners will remember a series of Talks on ' England's Green and Pleasant Land' given by, amongst others, Sir Henry Hadow , Mr. Philip Snowden , and Professor G. M. Trevelyan. This series was connected with the Council for the Preservation of Rural England, for whose funds Lord Crawford is appealing tonight. This is the sort of cause with which everybody sympathizes, but which does not, at first sight, seem to imply any particular need of financial support. Lord Crawford is to explain just why money is most urgently needed to preserve the English countryside and how such money may be spent to best advantage.
