J. JEWKES
This evening Mr. J. Jewkes, Senior Lecturer in Commerce in the Victoria University of Manchester, is to give his first broadcast in this series. In his talk tonight about cotton, he will show that the equilibrium between supply and demand is inevitably precarious : supply uneven because the weather may double or halve the crop; demand uneven because cotton is consumed by an industry that itself depends on circumstance.
Mr. Jewkes will describe the difficulties of the cotton-growers, and the reasons for those difficulties, especially the decline in the need for the raw commodity. He will show how the whole problem of readjustment has been complicated by official intervention. The growing of raw cotton in the British Empire has been subsidised now for many years, and Mr. Jewkes will describe also the more dramatic experiments in Egypt and America to help the cotton-farmer, and the difficulties that have been encountered.

Bax's chamber music reflects a highly imaginative and sensitive mind. In the Sonata for viola and piano not only are the invention rich and the treatment masterly, but one feels that the composer has offered here some of his deepest thoughts. The moods of the music alternate between meditation and dramatic tension.

How much Kreisler has done to enrich the repertoire of the modern solo violinist must be abundantly clear to listeners, from the frequency with which his name appears as a composer or arranger of violin pieces. His own career has been in many ways an astonishing one. He was only seven when he made his first concert appearance, and in the same year entered the Vienna Conservatoire, in spite of the rule that pupils must be at least fourteen years old on admission. He was the youngest pupil that ever studied there, and certainly the youngest that ever won the Gold Medal for violin playing. He was then only ten. Two years later he achieved another amazing success by winning the first Prix de Rome of the Paris Conservatoire, in competition with forty others, not one of whom was less than twenty years of age.
After some successful concert tours in Europe and America, he came back to Vienna and gave up music altogether for a time. He took a course in medicine, studied painting both in Paris and in Rome, and finally became a cavalry officer. During his army service, he laid his violin entirely aside, developing, no doubt, that splendid physique which enables him to withstand so well the arduous life of a virtuoso. Taking up his music once more, he soon made himself one of the foremost concert players in the world, and though his career was again interrupted by army service during the War, when he was wounded, he is still, probably, the most popular solo violinist of today.
