Europe. Only last spring in a spe-
cial short wave broadcast from New
York, he had the gratifying news
that his youngest brother stationed
at the time in the Maginot line, was
able to hear him broadcast.
The program for Sunday in-
eludes compositions by Mozart, Scar-
latti, Daquin, Chopin, and the con-
temporary French composer Pou-
lenc. In some future broadcasts,
Mr. Jolas expects to present musical
features in the field of chamber
music, as well as compositions by
King Memorial chapel with his an-
alysis of the current situation in
the warring countries of Europe, in-
terspersed wtth amusing accounts
of his own experiences as news man
in every active country of the pres-
ent war. He returned only three
weeks ago to this country.
Few realize, contended Mr. Irvin,
how weak Germany is now. Ger-
many has between five and six mil-
lion soldiers at present as compar-
ed to 11 million in the last war.
"Germany has certain very vital
weaknesses which I think will cause
Hitler's downfall later," he stated.
