The Radio Review
IT can hardly be said that the Christmas Day programmes were guilty of fostering a false spirit of jollity : seasonable sentiments, of the robins and tinselled snow variety, were happily absent. Nevertheless, I do feel that the programmes were a little too like those of any other Sunday in the year. The one splendid exception was the King's broadcast message to the Empire. In the evening, the Prime Minister made an impassioned appeal for the Wireless for the Blind Fund, which aims at bringing the wireless into every home where there is a blind person living. In the previous week Mr. MacDonald had made an appeal for the unemployed. His talk was really a preparation for the Prince of Wales's introductory talk, on January 6th, to a series which will outline the various schemes already inaugurated for the relief of unemployment.
