CAMBRIDGE SEEKS TO

SOLVE RIDDLE.

Criticisms of the British Broad- casting Corporation's programmes were made at the Cambridge Union Society's debate recently, the motion being that the B.B.C. does not justify its existence.

Mr. N. C. Oatridge (Fitzwilliam House), speaking for the motion, said: "Sir John Reith has given us Aunt Sophie, who is possibly here in disguise to-night. Secondly, he invented the surprise items. He sent up a brass band in a balloon in order to disseminate their music to an expectant_world."

He (the speaker) did not know! of any other entertainment which had such a solemn and ponderous introduction as the newa items.

They had deliberations from Green- land's icy mountains, the whole agricultural life of England was disinterred, and they had to listen to fat stock prices.

Referring to the educational items, the speaker remarked: "How glorious to be taught twenty- one ways of how to cook sausages and mashed."

The Speaker ruled that this the murder of matter did not arise on the ques- Charles E. Cornwell, a game- keeper on Lord Playfair's Red- tion.

Mr. Van Gielgud, productions director to the B.B.C., defended the programmes. "We cannot hope to satisfy everyone." he said, "but we claim that we do satisfy some of the people, sometimes."

A speaker lamented the fact that broadcasting was killing individua- lism. "No one sings in his bath to- day," he said, he takes with him a portable wireless set." (Laugh- ter.)
