7.0 An Eye-witness account of the Amateur Road Race (Motor Cycles), relayed from the Grand-stand, Douglas, Isle of Man. (First broadcast from the Isle of Man.) S.B. from Manchester.
The Amateur Road Race Championship has so grown in popularity since its inauguration in 1923 that it became necessary last year to divide it into a Senior and a Junior Class. The race is organized by the Manx Motor Cycling Club, and is run over the same course as the professional races for the Tourist Trophy, providing the spectator with an equal gamut of thrills.
This broadcast is of particular interest as it is the first broadcast actually from the Isle of Man. those giving eye-witness accounts having previously had to cross to Liverpool in order to do so.

THE second of the weekly talks relayed from Geneva, where the League of Nations Assembly is now sitting, is being given tonight by the man who has done most for the League idea in Great Britain. As Lord Robert Cecil , he held many high offices in the State— the Ministry of Blockade (1916-18), Assistant Secretaryship of Foreign Affairs (1918), and the Privy Seal (1923-24); and, after he received his peerage, he sat in Mr. Baldwin's Cabinet as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster from 1924 to 1927. He has also been Chancellor of Birmingham University and Rector of Aberdeen. But ever since the League of Nations was established he has given it unremitting service, and his speeches and writings were one of the strongest influences in the acceptance in this country of the new international order.
