DEMAND

Paris, Nov. 30.

Egypt told Britain tonight to get out of the Sudan because she had no right to be there.

The Egyptian Foreign Minister, Salah 'el Din Bey, told a press conference that in the Sudanese plebiscite te proposed there could be only two choices union with Egypt. or independence. There could be no question, he said, of Sudanese unification with Britain,

"We do not consider the United Kingdom has any legal status at all in the Sudan," he said. Egypt will reply formally to the recent British White Book on Anglo-Egyptian relations, he added, in a Book to be issued shortly in Cairo.

COMMENT OF THE DAY

portant to us."--Reuter.

Early Morning Radio

OUR years have passed since lis teners, by means of a Gallup Poll conducted by the Hongkong Telegraph, indicated their desire for early morning programmes from Radio Hongkong. Their wish is now about to be met, and If Government's response to public feeling has been tardy, the decision made at last affords some satisfaction. The desirability of early morning ses- sions is prompted by more than one- factor. Purely as a matter of service to listeners they constitute a normal radio feature of

present-day any station; and in Hongkong, licence hol- ders who pay their annual $20 fee. have for a considerable time past feit they were not receiving the beat value for their money. From both Radio Hongkong and ZEK they are at present being offered seven to seven and a half hours of broadcasting every week day, spaced over two intervals. An additional two hours, making three broadcasting periods, are to be introduced next week. Even this does not compare with the 16 to 18 hours a day which represent the normal broadcasting output for radio stations elsewhere in the world, but any additional service is welcome, and local listeners will appreciate Radio Hongkong's attempt to cater more fully for their needs. The two-hour pro-

grammes from Radio Hongkong and the one-hour period from ZEK in the early morning, as outlined by a Government spokesman, suggests a modest concep- tion of the form an early morning session should take. Listeners' interest and enjoyment, however, can be con- siderably sharpened by the manner in which the programmes are presented. This, in radio jargon, is essentially a "disc jockey" job, where script gives way to extemporisation and improvisa- tion and the individuality and per- sonality of the announcer in charge must be allowed full expression. Radio Hongkong listenera can confidently look forward to the necessary light touches and sense of intimacy which are essen- tial requirements for successful break- fast sessions because the station for- tunately has the services of a trained announcer with considerable experience of this type of radio work. Given a reasonably free hand, which every early morning session "disc jockey" must have if his programmes are to hold listeners' interest and attention, there is no reason to doubt that Mr Phillips will make Radio Hongkong's early morning programmes entertaining and attractive, and that the innovation will prove itself a worth while success.
