Descriptions of the Commonwealth today recorded in Australia, and introduced by Michael Terry
1—'Introducing Australia' by G. V. Portus , Professor of Science and History in the University of Adelaide (The series arranged in collaboration with the Australian Broadcasting Commission) This is the first talk in a new series on the lines of the popular ' America Speaks ' and ' Canada Speaks ' series broadcast last year. The speakers will describe the Commonwealth today rather than give close-ups of typical characters as in the Canadian series. Rather than risk interference and fading, the Australian Broadcasting Commission has recorded the talks and sent over the records, which will all be introduced by Michael Terry , an Australian explorer, author, and broadcaster living in this country. Mr. Terry, who knows several of the speakers, will be able to make clear to the British listener what sort of man is talking, the kind of life he leads, and the reason why he has been chosen to make this contribution to the series.
