The Colonial Empire
British Rule in Africa: Setting the Scene
Mr. I. L. EVANS
FROM NOW until this series ends on March 23, the Friday broadcasts will deal with Africa, and all listeners interested in the subject would do well to read a copy of Professor Coupland's comprehensive pamphlet, 'The British Empire', obtainable from [address removed], price 6d., 7d. post free.
The heading of the initial talk by I L. Evans this evening is self-explanatory, inasmuch as it will show how the white man came to Africa, and what he achieved there. It will also discuss the many different forms British rule takes in different parts, and the status of the different dependencies -Â Colonies, Protectorates, Mandates, 'Condominiums'. In a second talk, on February 16, he will deal with economic development.

Professor C. G. SELIGMAN :
' Ritual and Healing '
IN HIS TALK last week Professor Seligman showed how far the mind can influence the behaviour of the body. He explained how paralyses can be produced not only by suggestion but were also frequently the result of shell-shock during the War.
Professor Seligman will describe tonight such a case of shell-shock, and will give examples of strange rites performed by the Polynesian races of the Pacific, by natives of Ceylon and by Dervishes in Egypt. He will describe a case of self-induced anesthesia on the part of an Indian Sadhu
(Holv Man) and, most astonishing ot all, a Maori's death by suggestion.

The Play produced by LANCE SIEVEKING
ERICH KASTNER 'S STORY, ' Emil and the Detectives ', published three years ago, conforms with the best tradition of children's classics in affording equal delight to children and grown-ups. It tells the simple tale of how a very ordinary and human small boy had all his money stolen from him by a sneak in a bowler hat; and how within the short space of twenty-four hours he had enlisted the help of half the children in Berlin, and brought the thief to justice ; a tremendous romantic adventure, yet a perfectly credible one, set as it is amid the familiar commonplaces of modern every-day life—bowler hats, railway carriages, tram-cars, taxis, traffic lights, scooters, bicycles, and bank clerks. That, indeed, is the great charm of the story. As Mr. Walter de la Mare pointed out in his preface to the English edition, Emil's adventures might easily have been those of an English boy travelling to London, Liverpool, or Manchester.
Many listeners will already have seen the excellent film version, produced last year, and some may have seen the stage version, produced in English at Croydon last year. As a radio play it promises to be equally exciting; even Emil's nightmare in the train will lose nothing by its translation into terms of sound. And, as in the film, all the children's parts will be played by a cast of real boys and girls.
Th's play was broadcast in the Regional programme last night.
A series of photographs taken from the film version of ' Emil and the Detectives ' appears on page 299.
