Stories that are History
Tartar Invaders
IGOR VINOGRADOFF
Commanders, elders, and common people, know that God has given me the empire of the earth from the East to the West. Whoever submits to me shall be spared but those who resist, they shall be destroyed, they and their wives and children and servants.'
That was how Chingis Khan , or Ruler of the Tartars, wrote to his enemies. He meant what he said. He and his fierce people galloped and conquered their way right across Asia from their homes in the Far
East, as their kinsmen the Huns had done more than 800 years before.
Today's broadcast will tell you something about the terrible Ghingis Khan and his Tartar empire.

@ Extermination of Animals by Man
H. MUNRO Fox, F.R.S.
It was necessary to exterminate wolves in Britain because they were dangerous to men and cattle, and it would be a good thing if we could exterminate rats. But it is a thousand pities that birds such as the dodo and the great auk were exterminated. Seals and elephants have been saved by laws, and it is hoped that whales will be saved by a new agreement to protect them. In the past men did not care whether animals were exterminated or not ; nowadays people do not want wild animals to die out. This is the outline of Munro Fox 's talk today.
