GOVERNOR; OF BANK
OF ENGLAND ON CBC I
IN FIRST BROADCAST
The Rt. Hon. Montagu Collet
Norman, 'Governor of the. Bank of
England since 1920, will make Itis
first broadcast on Thursday, March
16, 1.45 to 2.00 p,m. EST, when he
will discuss the Bank and ,itl•,s work
in the fifth talk of the BBC's series,
"The City of London." The broad-
cast will be heard in Canada and the
United Stashes over the coast-to-coast
networks of CBC and NBC.
One of the outstanding personal-
iities of Europe, Mr. Norman, who
was born 68 years ago at Much
Hadham, Rertfordsihire has been
head of the Bank of England for a
longer period than any other Geyer -
tor. He .commenced duties there
after a distinguished military career,
during which '(in 1901) he was
awarded the D.S.O. for his services
in South Africa. Lieutenant of the
City of London he was educated at
Eton and Cambridge, King's College
and was married six years ago. j
Ilt his. broadcast Mr. Norman will
describe the working of an institution
that for 245 years has been not only!
n corner-tsoneof London, but an in-'
tegral part of the structure of the
State itself. I
Through Mese many generations
the Bank, unswervingly, irresistibly,
has built up its reputation -a repu-
tation that, today, is summed up in
the synonymthat all the English -i
speaking world knows:. "as safe asp
the Bank of England."
SINCLA1P LEWIS IN RAPID-FIRE
Mr, Lewis stressed the value of
the story over the value of propa-
ganda. "Vanity Fair" will survive
a thousand propaganda books be-
cause the'story transcends the moral.
To a questions about the locale that
a Canadian writer should choose, the
author of "Ilk Can't Happen Here"
and "Babbitt" declared that there
should -.be no prescribed setting. Im-
agination will dictate the field. Lewis
Carroll had more than, good geog-
raphy When he wrote Alice• . in
Woiulerland."

INTERVIEW
i
Sinclair Lewis breezed into the
Toronto studios of the CBC last week
and gave a rapid-fire interview to
Graham McInnes, for national net -1
work listeners. He spoke of the
theatre, free speech, writing antll
American - Canadian friendship. He
said the theatre is enjoying a lively'
renaissance, that free speech, like
free movement, is good if lit does
not lead to crime and that there' is
no international border on this con-
inert as applied to the creative arts,
In a message to Canadian writers
he said cryptically: "Go on writing".
If a writer is impatient for success
and not willing to work for int, he
would be wiser to forsake writing for
another job. Mr. Lewis suggested
deep sea diving. "When you jump
in with equipment on you know you
will get to the bottom,"
