FROM his island of Jethou, Mr. Compton Mackenzie has, as it were, as good a view of the Channel Islands as a man might have. Fortunate, indeed, he is, to be able to enjoy these happy islands from the inside instead of, as with us poor occasional holiday-makers, from the outside. Who has not wished, when spring first comes, to be free to go where those fields are full of flowers and where already it is warm ? But it is the people who live in the Channel Islands of whom, also, Mr. Mackenzie will be able to tell us. And no one who has heard any of his broadcast talks will need reminding of the charm with which, by virtue of his retentive memory and 'sensitive style, he can invest his words over the microphone.
