MILDRED WATSON (soprano)
THE LONDON ENSEMBLE TRIO:
Harold Fairhurst (violin) ; Helen Just (violoncello) ; Hetty Bolton (pianoforte)
Trio in F, Op. 18 Saint-Sagns i. Allegro vivace; 2. Andante; 3. Scherzo : Presto ; 4. Allegro
Saint-Saens wrote eighteen chamber works, including two piano trios. No. 1 in F was written in 1863 when the composer was twenty-eight years of age. It is full of youthful vitality and high spirits, particularly in the Scherzo with its lively cross rhythms and pizzicato effects. The slow' movement is a charming and expressive piece of writing.

Music by DAVID BUCHAN
An interesting thing about tonight's ' Decision' is that it introduces an author with a famous broadcasting name. Denis Constanduros is nephew of the inimitable Mabel. He is only twenty-five, and helped her a little when she first started broadcasting. They have recently been collaborating in a musical show, of which she has done the book and he the lyrics, that may be broadcast in the near future. Among other things he designs posters, and several years ago had a drawing in THE RADIO Times. He has done the drawing for ' Decision which is reproduced on this page.

' The Major Task of Our Generation '
HENRI Bouche
In the last letter that T. E. Lawrence sent to Robert Graves he wrote that ' the conquest of the air seems the major task of our generation It is on this ' major task ' considered as a whole that Henri Bouche will speak this evening. Bouché, a Frenchman, is the editor of an important technical monthly called L'Aeronautique. In the war, from 1915 to 1918, he served in the French army, where he did a good deal of valuable observation and reconnaissance work.
And today in civil life he is acknowledged to be one of the greatest authorities on the problem of internationalising civil aviation.
