This talk, although complete in itself, will be of special interest to all those who listened to the twelve Regional Geography broadcasts during the last The Marquess of Zetland, now Secretary of State for India, has all his life been noted for his interest in India- and Indian affairs. In 1900 he was an A.D.C. on the Viceroy's staff, and from 1917-1922 he was Governor of Bengal.
He will discuss the vital problems of self-government for India. A difficult problem, for ever since the Aryans poured into India from Central Asia tour thousand years ago, the country been an embarrassing mixture of vices and religions. And an extraordinary mixture of customs, too.

Leon Boellmann (1862-97), French composer and organist, was chief organist at St. Vincent de Paul, Paris. He was a fine player and was noted for his gift for improvisation. Every form of composition interested him, excepting dramatic music. He is chiefly remembered in England by his organ works and the Variations Symphoniques for 'cello and orchestra.

Boellmann lived to be only thirty-five years of age. His 'Suite gothique', Op. 25, was published in 1895, two years before he died. Its title sums up the character of the music, which is majestic and in some respects forbidding, but always musicianly and impressive.

' Keeping the Machine Going'
GEOFFREY CROWTHER
Just like a motor-car, the machinery of economics occasionally goes wrong. Advice there is in plenty, expert and inexpert. But the ' mechanics in the shape of economists, are in no more agreement as to the cause of the trouble than well-meaning but unhelpful passers-by are at the scene of many a car breakdown. One thing is certain : disorganisation of the economic machine causes a great deal of individual hardship. The first fault to remedy is the alternating periods of boom and slump. Would it help if wage-rates were moved up and down more freely ? This is a question which listeners may feel inclined to discuss amongst themselves after hearing Geoffrey Crowther 's talk.

Once again, the Old and the New ! Tonight the music of Ivan Caryll and Vincent Youmans is to be contrasted. Caryll, of course, is a distinguished representative of the old-time school. Remember Seymour Hicks 's musical comedy The Earl and the Girl at the Adelphi in 1903, revived later at the Aldwych in 1914 ? Remember The Duchess of Dantzig ? And Oh ! Oh ! Delphine ! in 1913 ? Fine shows all of them, with fine music, composed by Caryll.
Shorter memories can probably cope better with recalling the works of the later composer, Vincent Youmans. It was he who was responsible for Tie a String Around Your Finger ! ', a ' hit ' that contributed a good deal to the popularity of Mercenary Mary. His music was also heard in Hit the Deck and that great musical comedy, No, No, Nanette. In the film world he is famous for his work in Flying Dozen to Rio and for the theme song in Great Day.

Conducted by JULIUS HARRISON
HENRY CUMMINGS (baritone)
Julius Harrison , one of our leading conductors, received his musical education at the Midland Institute of Music under Sir Granville Bantock. He has written many compositions among which two of the most important orchestral works are to be heard this evening.
The Rhapsody for baritone and orchestra was first performed at Hastings Musical Festival under Joseph Lewis. The poem is by Walt Whitman and it tells of a father and child on the sea-shore at night. The child is frightened by the black clouds that obscure the stars. The father comforts his child and explains that the stars will always endure, and that, beyond them, there is something more immortal still.
The theme of Julius Harrison 's latest work, ' Cornish Holiday Sketches ' for string orchestra originated, so the composer tells us, on a tin whistle during a holiday spent in the Land's End district in August 1935. The Sketches represent various episodes of his holiday, together with a few personal allusions that call for no explanation. It should be added, however, that ' Roland ' is an elderly Morris coupe and the ' Cardinal's Procession ' refers to a dramatised version of ' The Jackdaw of Rheims ', performed in full moonlight on the cliffs at Porthcumo.
