2.30 British History
Ⓓ From the Fifteenth to the Eighteenth Century
' Tobacco and Sugar '
A dramatic interlude written for broadcasting by RHODA POWER
Today's broadcast will tell you of the British settlements across the Atlantic and of the planters who grew tobacco and sugar. You will hear something of their rivals, of their labour problems, and of the difference which England's overseas trade was making to her people at home.
Remember that your part of the work comes after the broadcast, when you talk about it among yourselves, or try to answer some of the questions in the pamphlet, and see how these separate stories fit into what is called 'chronological history'.

Johann Baptist Krumpholtz was born near Prague about 1745 and died in 1790.. He studied under his father, who was bandmaster in a French regiment, and when a young man he became famous as a harpist and composer. In 1773 Krumpholtz became a member of Prince Ester-hazy's chapel and during the three years that he remained there he studied composition under Haydn. Krumpholtz finally settled in Paris, where he became one of the leading teachers and virtuosos. His wife was also a harpist, and it is said that she was even a finer player than her husband. Unfortunately, she was unfaithful to Krumpholtz, who drowned himself in the Seine.

Speaker, the Rt. Hon. Lord Davies
Interlocutor, L.P. Jacks
Lord Davies, founder and chairman of the New Commonwealth Society, will explain the concrete programme of the Society, which seeks to transform the League of Nations into an effective international authority, equipped with an Equity Tribunal for the peaceful settlement of disputes, and an International Police Force to uphold international law and order.
It is of interest that Professor L.P. Jacks, who acts as interlocutor, gave the twenty-first National Lecture, on 'The Relation of Morals to Scientific Progress', a fortnight ago.
