Dec. 20 Program

"Peace on earth. Good will to
men,"
A Christmas message from the
lips of innocents viii 60. around the
world from Washington this year,
no less sincere because Of certain
tragic irony.
In spite OF troubled times, more
children of foreign diplomats than

holiday greetings Of 1889 to their
playmates In many lands.

pected to be represented in the
eighth annual international chill
dren's broadcast arranged by , the
National Broadcasting Co. over
coast network and via short
wave, between and 5:45 pm. local
time.
The young sons and daughters of
foreign ENJOYS in Washington will
greet the children of their home
countries in their native tongues,
and then extend good wishes Of the
season to the children of the United
States. Many will be dressed In ma
tional costumes.
The event, arranged in co-opera-
ton with the Greater National Cap
ital Committee, Washington Board
of Trade, has become one of the fea-
ture broadcasts of the year, and will
be held this season in the Hall of
Nations ballroom at the Washington
Hotel AS usual the Marine Band,
directed by Capt. Taylor Branson,
and dressed in colorful red uni
forms, will play the national an

Interest in the international
broadcast has increased each year.

sented in the first one. Up to 30
invitations already have been ac-
cepted by the Embassies and Lega-
tons for the 1899 event and more
are expected before the list of
young participants is complete.
The occasion has taken on many

hear their children perform to
world audience. A childrens party
