Should London Be Abolished?

DRAWS STRENGTH FROM PROVINCES

WEAKENING THE COUNTRY

The argument that London, with one out of every six people in Great Britain, living in it, and another on the way there, was like amalignant tumour drawing strength from the rest of the country, was put forward by Mr. Manual Controlled Eric Linklater in fr amusing

debate in the "I want to abolish" aeries of broadcasts recently. Manual Controlled The thing to be abolished in thin! case was London, Mr. James Bone replying.

One of the pointe touched on by Mr. Linklater was the centra-, liantion of the theatre in London. "London," he anid, "must be Manual Controlled amused. Many of us remember when every town of 60,000 in- habitants had at least ong theatre.

"Mr. Bone may reply that provincial towns.abould not rely

on London talent, but should pro- vide their own. He may nay that] Nottingham and Lelth and Bolton | and Hull and Swansea should write their own plays and discover' their own actors. But they're doing that all the time, or rather they would be doing it if their home-grown actors and dramatista stayed at home instead of setting out for London as soon as their: legs are long enough to reach the ground. Provincial cooks and journalists and manufacturers go the same way. One person in every six has already gone, and another is putting on his shoea. This is how a tumour grows, by drawing strength and sustenance from the rest of the body.
