THIS afternoon's programme is one of the series of National Programmes arranged through the International Society of Radiophony, whoso headquarters are at Geneva. This afternoon most of the broadcasting stations in Europe will give programmes in honour of Sweden.
The British programme, which has the advantage of being introduced by H.E. the Swedish Minister, Baron Palrnstiema, consists largely of orchestral music and songs, but other points of interest to British listeners are not ignored, though it is impossible in a programme of this length and character to treat them as adequately as they deserve.
Sir Henry Penson , the Chairman of the Anglo-
Swedish Society in London, whose acquaintance with Sweden during the last thirty years is probably more intimate than that of any other Englishman, will talk about some of his most vivid impressions of the countryside and of the people. Swedish literature will be represented by a reading of a short story of Verner von
Heidenstam (a winner of the coveted Nobel Prize), and of an excerpt from Ms famous book ' The Charles Men.'
It is hoped that listeners will get from this programme some definite impressions, mental, and perhaps visual, too, of Sweden and its artistic importance in the twentieth century.

Appeal on behalf of the National Police
Court Mission of the C.E.T.S., by the Bishop OF LONDON
EVERYONE who has studied social questions knows that the Probation of Offenders Act has done more than anything else to prevent the manufacture of criminals; and the work of the National Police Court Mission is incontestably one of the chief causes that brought the Act into existence. Started by the Church of England Temperance Society, in 1876, the Mission now keeps 189 officers-all Probation Officers under the Act-working in more than 400 Courts. The good they do is incalculable, and thousands of first offenders are restored to their friends, provided with employment and visited in their homes. In a very large proportion of cases the work of the officers ensures that one lapse shall not involve prison and a career of crime.
