' What my Allotment has meant to me,' by one of The UNEMPLOYED
AS originally stated, this series is designed to meet the needs of the unemployed and others who have, or propose to start, allotments. At the present time there is nothing more economical or patriotic than an allotment : it means both cheaper vegetables for yourself and a real contribution to the need for British production of British food. It will be particularly interesting and encouraging to hear what his allotment has meant to an actual unemployed man. Later in this series we shall hear the views of tho wife of an unemployed allotment-holder.

Mr. KINGSLEY MARTIN: The New Journalism '
THIS is the first of a series of four talks in which Mr. Kingsley Martin will consider the development of the Press in this century in the same way as Mr. Nicolson and Sir Barry Jackson have recently treated of Literature and Drama. Mr. Kingsley Martin, who is editor of The New Statesman and Nation, has devoted much of his time to the study of public opinion and the Press. While at Princeton University, where he went on a travelling fellowship, he wrote a book on Lord Palmerston and his times ; he was then for some time on the staff of the London School of Economics; then, on the death -of C. E. Montague , he stepped into his place on the Manchester Guardian. When The Nation and The New
Statesman combined, ho became editor of the joint publication. Besides writing and lecturing on public opinion and the Press, ho gave one of the earliest scries of broadcast talks, in 1927, on that subject under tho title of ' What Society Means.' This evening's talk deals specifically with the changes in journalism since Northcliffe's predecessors.
