Mr. Wilfrid Roberts
(Newcastle Programme)

This morning Wilfrid Roberts will talk on the children of his district. Children there, and in the south, or anywhere else, are very much alike. As George Meredith said, 'They romp, they cry, they dream of play and pudding.' But children do things characteristic of their surroundings, and a great day in Cumberland is the carrying of the hay.
The type of low vehicle shown in the accompanying photograph is called 'a bogey'; its purpose is to draw or carry the pikes of hay. But the Cumberland child goes riding on the pikes, as will be seen.
Wilfrid Roberts, if he has time, will touch on some characteristic games they play: 'Deaf and Dumb Dollies', and 'Hitchy Dob', a kind of hop-scotch. Some of these children have a long way to go to school, but their walk in the spring of the year is made interesting by the search for the lovely little nest of the 'Dicky Hedge', the chaffinch; and later in the year they come home carrying armfuls of bluebells.

Views from Abroad-3
Dr. KAREL Capek
THIS EVENING we are to be seen through the eyes of the famous Czechoslovakian playwright, author, and journalist, Karel Capek , who, by his play R.U.R., introduced the word Robot into the English language. This fantastic melodrama was broadcast in the National and Regional programmes on July 13 and 14, 1933. Karel Căäpek's Letters from England ', illustrated by himself, were based on a journey he made in England, Wales and Scotland.
Next Monday will be given the first of four broadcasts on ' Modern Industry and National Character '.

Mr. WILLIAM PLOMER : Living in Japan'
IT WAS to take up no academic appointment that William Plomer went to Japan ; he went out of curiosity, persuaded by a Japanese naval officer whom he met in East Africa. He spent more than two years in Japan and travelled in many parts of the country, visiting some unfrequented places. He taught in a public school and a school of language, and gave lectures at a university, and although he had no degree, he was offered, when he was twenty-five, the chair of English Literature in the Imperial University, an honour which he declined.
This is the first of five talks on Japan, and then the whole series will be reviewed in a broadcast on March 26.

A Drama by JOHN GALSWORTHY
Loyalties, which was first produced in 1922, is undoubtedly one of the best of John Galsworthy 's plays, and, like most of them, it deals with a social problem, or rather injustice, which is laid bare with superb psychological penetration. In view of recent events Loyalties has to some extent a topical interest and significance.
On this occasion Galsworthy forsakes his beloved middle class ; and the foibles of Society with a capital S, which goes ' huntin', fishin', and shootin',' is illuminated by the author's powerful spot-light.
If one cannot exactly feel admiration for Ferdinand de Levis, the young, rich, social-climbing Jew, he certainly secures our sympathy when he gets caught in the wheels of that section of society which will tolerate a newcomer for the sake of his cheque-book as long as he does not transgress the gentleman's code of' good form '. However, when £ 1 ,ooo is stolen from him, de Levis is unable to observe the code, and then the ' loyalties ' of Society come into play.
An article, by Ivor Brown , on Loyalties, appears on page 447.
