From page 42 of ' When Two or Three '

THE CENTRAL IDEA behind this new series is to bring various speakers to the microphone who each have had some different reason for going abroad. It will be found as the series goes on how very varied and interesting these reasons may be. Helen Simpson , the well-known novelist, who is to open the series this morning, had an extremely unusual one. She went to study witchcraft.
She must be one of the few women in England who has actuallv had letters from witches and he-witches. Magic and witches are still to be found in the country districts of France, Germany, and Austria, and Miss Simpson has made more than one interesting journey in search of information. Last summer she was staying in a wonderful old castle, said to have been built by the devil in a night, in one of the mountain districts of France, and here she came across a wizard who could find water, not by the usual hazel twig, but by consulting the stars. He actually found a spring in California by casting a horoscope. The whole matter was dealt with by post. This is surely magic up to date.
This morning Helen Simpson will tell listeners something about her journey to the Valley of the Witches.

European politics - and even world politics - to-day are closely bound up with the various provisions of the Versailles Treaty. What were the circumstances in which the terms of the Treaty were negotiated and agreed? Who were the personalities involved? What were the difficulties? What were the terms finally agreed upon, and how have these agreements fared since? And finally, how does the Treaty appear to us and to other countries to-day?
These are some of the questions these talks will try to answer. The series falls naturally into three parts: Setting the Scene; the Terms of the Treaty; The Results.

In this opening talk this evening Lord Riddell, who was in Paris throughout the Peace Treaty negotiations in 1919, and present at the final signing of the Versailles Treaty, is going to describe the atmosphere in which the negotiations were carried out in Paris, and to give a picture of some of those personalities involved - Mr. Lloyd George, President Wilson, M. Clemenceau, and others.

Next Monday Professor Webster will discuss the Problems before the Peace-makers.

LYOF KNIPPER is a brilliant young Russian composer, some of whose work has been heard already by listeners. He holds a high musical position in the Soviet administration, particularly as official composer in the Moscow State Opera. In his idiom and orchestration he appears to have affinity with Stravinsky and, in some respects, with Schonberg. He has composed three symphonies, one of them based on songs of the Red Army, and about ten suites, several inspired by the adventures of the same mediæval rogue, Till Eulenspiegel, that inspired Richard Strauss, and others based on folk music collected in that region of Southern Asia Iving north of the Pamir Mountains.
