History in the Making
JOHN HILTON , Professor of Industrial Relations in the University of Cambridge
This new series takes the place of ' Tracing History Backwards ', but the scheme followed therein of discussing one week some particular aspect of history of today and the next week its conterpart in centuries gone by will not be adhered to. Each week some famous speaker - Professor John Hilton , Commander Stephen King-Hall , and others - will deal with some topical event.
Today, in the opening talk,
John Hilton , who has endeared himself to millions with his broadcast talks to the unemployed, is to discuss the League Assembly, due to meet yesterday. Listeners will hear how the League of Nations has affected, and is affecting, history in the making.

by BENJAMIN J. DALE i. Allegro deciso ; 2. Slow movement (Theme and Variations 1-4)-
Scherzo (Variations 5-7)—Finale : Molto allegro played by FRANK MERRICK (pianoforte)
It was once claimed for Benjamin Dale that he had written ' fewer and better works than any English composer of his generation '. His exceptional fastidiousness has prevented publication of all but his finest compositions, and it is characteristic that, although he began his career at fifteen with the ' Horatius ' Overture of 1900, his opus-numbers have still (we believe) not yet reached twenty.
This Piano Sonata, his first published work and one of the most remarkable Opus Ones ever written, was an astounding feat for a seventeen-year-old student. Even the form is unusual: a normal first movement, followed by a set of variations which constitute slow movement, scherzo, and finale.
