Appeal on behalf of the Council for Music in Hospitals, by the Vice-President, Sir Steuart Wilson
Contributions will be gratefully acknowledged and should be addressed to [address removed]
The Council has for six years given regular concerts in mental hospitals, for which the hospitals can pay only the bare cost and for which the artists accept a very small fee The Council wishes 10 extend its work for patients in orthopaedic and tuberculosis sanatoria, who need new interests to save them from the boredom and stagnation that are the enemies of recovery and health. The Council needs funds to offer 'hospitals a ' trial concert ' in order to experiment in. therapy by music from ' live ' artists as well as from recordings; but as the smaller hospitals cannot afford to pay full costs the Council is dependent on voluntary contributions to carry on its work.

Phineas's second session in Parliament is now well advanced. He has not yet gathered the courage to make his maiden speech; and the money-lender, Clarkson, is persistently dunning him for settlement of that wretched bill. But these troubles apart, his life is interesting and full, and he has quite recovered from the shock of Lady Laura's marriage to Mr. Kennedy.
Lady Laura, however, is finding her life with the exacting Kennedy increasingly hard to bear, and has realised, to her great distress, that she is falling in love with Phineas Finn. Her misery is increased because it is very evident that Phineas himself is growing very fond of her charming friend, Miss Violet Effingham, whom Lady Laura wishes to see married to her wayward brother, Lord Chiltern. Phineas, aware of Chiltern's devotion to Miss Effingham, has so far forbidden himself to be in love with her. But learning from Chiltern that Miss Effingham has twice rejected him, and that he will never try again, Phineas feels the field to be open to himself.

This problem is one that is found in many guises and in many places. The speaker has had experience of one country where the economic needs of the ma« of people at first were neglected and later were recognised at the expanse of their individual freedom. This historic problem of rights versus expediency has been brought into prominence lately by the U.N. Report on Forced Labour.
In this talk Leonard Constantine defines the issue and examines it against the background of his own belief.
