In the first month of the new Charter of the BBC we look back to the birth of the original British Broadcasting Company - fourteen years ago. The start of British broadcasting at Marconi House in London, at Birmingham, and at Manchester, will be recalled in tonight's 'Scrapbook for 1922'.
This was the year when the wartime Coalition Government came to an end, a political sensation symptomatic of the return from wartime conditions. It was the year of Princess Mary's wedding, of the Geddes 'Axe', of The Cabaret Girl and A to Z, of Northcliffe - a great personality

Austria
Tonight listeners are to hear one of our own countrymen speaking from London of his own life and work, and then they will hear, from Vienna, an Austrian in a similar calling speak of his life and work over there. Each will give a plain, straightforward account of himself -his age and the length of time he has been at his job. He will say if he like it, if he likes it well enough to put his children into it, how he spends his leisure hours, and so forth.
This will be the third broadcast in this series, which has been devised by Moray McLaren , now on the Continent. Paris and Rome have already been represented ; the turns of Warsaw, Berlin, and Copenhagen are to come. The idea is to show that so far as jobs and human types are concerned, most European countries are very much alike.
