AS readers of The Radio Times know, Mr. Scholes has recently been on a visit to the United States, where he addressed the Biennial Conference of Music Teachers—3,500 of them-at a vast breakfast party in Chicago. The extraordinary vitality of, and keenness for, music that he found in America has vastly impressed Mr. Scholes, and, as he informs us by cablegram, he will recount his interesting experiences in this, his first talk since his return.

Why Government is necessary '
G OVERNMENT of some kind is necessary, for men move differently to the atainment of opposed desires. It is therefore necessary to maintain certain standards of conduct in the interests of peace. These rules make possible the life we know. They secure our health, our physical safety, our educational standards. But because the rules are the creation of experience it follows that we are in a large degree the creatures of the past. How far it is possible to change standards of conduct in the course of a generation Professor Laski will discuss in the second of his series of talks.
Listeners who want to follow up the subject are recommended to read some of the following books: ' The Great Society,' by Graham Wallas (Macmillan) ; ' A Grammar of Politics,' by H. J. Laski (Allen and Unwin); ' Social Theory,' by G. D. H. Cole (Methuen); 'The Modem State,' by R. M. Maciver ; and ' Introduction to Modern Political Theory,' by C. E. M. Joad (Oxford University Press); ' Liberty and Authority,' by Lord Hugh Cecil (Arnold), and ' Elements of Social Justice,' by L. T. Hobhouse (Allen and Unwin).
