On the contrary, he is going to make a last desperate effort to save English opera. , "I've a staggering scheme," he says. "Whether it will be a grand finale or a grand fizzle I do not know, but I am optimistic. I know we are a nation of noodles, but I've still an idea up my sleeve. If it does not succeed nothing will. It will embrace everything concerning music except.broadcasting. It •will be a national enterprise, ninetenths British, of which opera will be the main plank.

Anyhow, despite my losses, I'm going, to see once more whether there is any hope for British music."
