Show detail Hide detail

This is a radio talk by Graham Spry, CBC's London correspondent on the European situation, from London. Spry discusses the calm mood in London, the sale of family garden bombshelters, and the re-inforcement of the trenches in the big London parks. Spry mentions that the President of France and Mme. Lebrun have been visiting London where the King and Queen drove them through the streets in an open carriage, and the London Country Council is celebrating its 50th anniversary. He also discusses a move to end voluntary national military service. He mentions books which have been written on the Czechoslovakian crisis and describes the implications for England in that situation. Next he mentions Hitler's broken promises, and advises against believing any more. In conclusion, Spry expresses his belief that consciousness of current social issues exists among the working classes as well as among the rulers in the British Isles - he cites England as an example to other countries in their work on mental health, preventive medicare, unemployment schemes, poverty, etc. <13mn 50s>
