This evening Mr. J. W. F. Rowe is to talk about sugar. He will describe the general organisation of the world's production and consumption, and the respective spheres of beet and cane-sugar. He will compare methods and organisations in the chief countries, and show how the War hit the European beet industry and how the industry expanded in Cuba and elsewhere. The sugar famine and its effects ; the world's over-production of 1924 to 1925 ; Cuba's challenge to the world from 1925 to 1929 ; the final collapse ; the International Restriction Scheme and its results to date-these and other matters concerning sugar will be discussed in this talk.

Composed by ERNEST LONGSTAFFE
This sign of our time-this mike's-eye view '-was originally broadcast in June, 1931, and is a genial burlesque of life in Mikeborough, and the kind of things its Mayor has to do.
He is elected to office, he is rather snubbed by the Town Clerk (' for Mayors may come and Mayors may go, but Town Clerks go on for ever '), he has to face an angry deputation from the ratepayers.
There is a satirical number about putting it on the rates. The Mayor opens a swimming bath-and falls in. The beautiful girls in bathing dresses can't swim-they are only mannequins..... He entertains a prince who only speaks Arabic, and there are no interpreters, and he forgets the name of the principality. And then there are skits on municipal housing, baby shows, trams, and all the rest of it.
Perhaps the biggest laugh of all concerns the unveiling of a statue, and as it is to be unveiled by that popular broadcaster Lawrence Bask comb in the part of the Mayor it will certainly be the moment of the broadcast.
It is du Garde Peach at his satirical best, with tuneful music by Ernest Longstaffe.
