Vaughan Williams considers that a better title for his London Symphony ' would perhaps be "Symphony by a Londoner " ; that is to say, the life of London (including, possibly, its various sights and sounds) has suggested to the composer an attempt at musical expression, but it would be no help to the hearer to describe these in words.' Londoners and those who know London well will find no difficulty in recognising various well-known sounds of tho city which the music so cleverly and subtly suggests; for instance, the Westminster chimes that appear on the clarinet and harp thirty-one bars after the opening of the first movement and again on the harp in the last few bars of the fourth movement before the Epilogue; then there is a lavender-seller's call, and the sound of the bells that used to be fastened to the horses of hansom cabs.
The music of Victor Vreuls is not well known in England, but it is highly esteemed in France and Walloon. Vreuls was born at Verviers in 1876, and studied at the local school of music. He then went to the Liege Conservatoire and remained there until when he moved on to Paris and finished his studies under the late Vincent D'Indy. As a composer be has been largely associated with the theatre, but he also has a number of orchestral and chamber works to his credit, which to a certain extent show the influence of Cesar Franck.

Major The Rt. Hon. W. E. ELLIOT , M.C., M.P. :
' The New Policy for the Pig Industry '
The reorganisation of the pig industry is the first big scheme which an industry, with the help of the Government, has tackled under the Agricultural Marketing Act of 1931, which provides for reorganisation schemes, agreed upon hy groups of producers, being given the effect of law. The main new principles involved in this scheme are a Farmers' Board, price-regulation and limitation of imports. Major Elliot will consider their application to existing conditions in the pig, bacon and pork trades. For the first time, in this important talk, a Minister comes before the microphone to discuss the economic possibilities of a reorganisation scheme for the benefit of the farming community.

A Pilgrimage in Time and in South Wales by FILSON YOUNG
Spoken and directed by the Author

(West Regional
Little that is historical is known of St. David, but from the legends surrounding his life there has emerged a figure that Wales is proud to honour as her national saint. This programme is the story in a sequence of sound, speech and music of a modern pilgrimage to his shrine: the author acts as narrator, while listeners in imagination accompany two Welsh and English travellers from Cardiff to St. David's Cathedral. Here, on the spot where the Saint lived and built his monastery five hundred years before the Cathedral was built, listeners are taken back through time to the days of St. David.
