' Ought we to welcome Refugees ?
Never in the history of the world has the problem of refugees been so acute and so widespread as at the present time. The political fugitive may, indeed, rank as one of the foremost tragedies of our age. Disowned by the country of his origin he is forced to seek the hospitality of countries on whose economic systems he will inevitably be a drain. This question of refugees, and whether or not Britain should receive them, win be discussed in this broadcast by speakers for and against. It will be shown that, whereas refugees to
England of other times, such as the Huguenots and the Flemish weavers, conferred benefits upon the country that gave them asylum, those of today cannot hope to make such promises.

The fascination of precious stones - strange stories of magic jewels, poisoned rings, diamonds that rendered men invisible, and pearls worth a king's ransom
Here is a glittering cavalcade of fabulous jewellery - jewellery famed or the royal fingers which it decorated for the royal throats of which as with Marie Antoinette , it proved to be partly the destroyer: jewellery that concealed fangs of poison, and jewellery of which the magnificence has become almost legendary. This programme by Jonquil Antony is the second in the series 'Frills and Finery', and is concerned solely with precious stones. Listeners will hear about the seven hundred rings of Anne of Denmark, the poisoned pearls of the Borgias, and of the notorious Colonel Thomas Blood, who in the seventeenth century, aimed to steal the Crown of England, and was pardoned by Charles II, with the words 'It was a gallant attempt; it was for a crown'...
The programme, incidentally, will contain an adaptation of what has been hailed as the perfect short story, namely, 'The Necklace'' by Guy de Maupassant.
