The first of a series of Empire Day programmes was broadcast in 1933 from the United Kingdom under the title, ' News of Home.' In 1934, the first overseas contribution was made to this series from Australia, and this year it is Canada's turn to mark for the Empire the celebration of Empire Day. The principal broadcasting organisations of the Empire will, it is hoped, participate in this scheme. The schedule proposed for future years, in collaboration with overseas broadcasters, includes programmes from India (with Ceylon), New Zealand, and South and East Africa.
