The picture shows a room at the headquarters of the BBC's Monitoring Service which employs over 400 people on the work of listening to recording and noting night and day the broad- casts of about forty countries in thirty languages. More than a hundred experts working in shifts Isten here on earphones to over a million words daily, including 230 news bulletins. By pressing a button everything heard can be recorded mechanical- ly and double-checked for accuracy. From this Listening Post, news and significant items are flashed to the BBC newsrooms and Whitehall by teleprinter. Translations of verbatim broadcasts are also boiled down by a sub-editorial staff into a Daily Digest
of some 50,000 words.

In a brief address delivered at the weekly tiffin of the Roya Air Force Association, Shanghal, here in the dome recently. Lt. Col. Collier of the Fourth Marines laid emphasis on the friend- ship between him and members of the association and other members of the British community and declared that interna- Lional friendship would not be worth the paper it is written on, unless hased on sincere friendship of the nationals of the coun- tries concerned. The two guests of honour were Lt. Col. Collier, who is leaving shortly to assume duties in America, and Cai Samuel Howard, who was accorded an enthusiastle welcome. The former was the recipient of a suitably inscribed R.A.F.A. taukard with the best wishes of the association.
In a speech of welcome to the It, Col. Collier in a brief reply guests of honour Capt. V. J. B. said:
