The Speech of the Prime Minister, the Rt. Hon.
STANLEY BALDWIN, M.P., proposing the toast of ' Tlio Company of Master Mariners '
LAST year tho newly-founded
Company of Master Mariners held its first banquet, and the speeches at it were broadcast. This year the Company comes to its second annual celebration with all the added prestige of a year's successful progress, and the presence of the Prince of Wales, which is made doubly welcome by his recent appointment as Master of the Merchant Navy. Listeners, who have come to look forward to the Prince's broadcasts as the most delightful events in the programmes, will be especially anticipating this one, as the occasion is one after his own heart, and the company of these master spirits of the sea, in whom is incarnate all the long tradition of the British seaman, is certain to inspire a speech in his happiest vein.
