SIR T, BEECHAM'S GRAND FINALE.

"I have another big #cheme up my sleeve yet. I have not finished with this country as far as muaj cal enterprise is concerned. My scheme will be the largest and most ambitious I have ever put my hand to. It will be my grand "Anale."

The Sir Thomna Beecham, the musleal conductor and compost.. in a recent interview in London. My scheme, Sir Thomas said, is a very simple acheme-people will be astonished when they find how simple it is-and it is terribly cheap.

Opera will be the main thing. but the scheme provides for every- thing concerned with music, in cluding orchestral concerts.

It is national scheme and not confined to London. The details are worked out now. The scheme Is 90 per cent. British.

Wait include broadcasting? Sir Thomas was asked.

No, certainly not, he replied. with an eloquent shrug: I said it would include everything con- cerned with music.

For the last 20 years 1 have been starting one musical enter prise after another in this countr. One after another they have all foundured. However, I am going to have another try. It will be my last.

I want to give you two instances which have occurred within the last twelve months, which have alarmed me, said the Premier.
