Uncle Geoff
1 My mother's relations were very different form. the Mitfords. Her brother, Uncle Geoff, who often came to stay at Swinbrook, was a small, spare man with thoughtful blue eyes and a rather silent manner. Compared to Uncle Tommy, he was an intellectual of the highest order, and indeed his satirical pen belied his mild demeanor. He spent most of his waking hours composing letters to The Times and other publications in which he outlined his own particular theory of the development of English history. In Uncle Geoff's view, the greatness of England had risen and waned over the centuries in direct proportion to the use of natural manure in fertilizing the soil. The Black Death of 1348 was caused by gradual loss of the humus fertility found under forest trees. The rise of the Elizabethans two centuries later was attributable to the widespread use of sheep manure.
2 Many of Uncle Geoff's letters-to-the-editor have fortunately been preserved in a privately printed volume called Writings of A Rebel. Of the collection, one letter best sums up his views on the relationship between manure and freedom. He wrote:
3 Collating old records shows that our greatness rises and falls with the living fertility of our soil. And now, many years of exhausted and chemically murdered soil, and of devitalized food from it, has softened our bodies and still worse, softened our national character. It is an actual fact that character is largely a product of the soil. Many years of murdered food from deadened soil has made us too tame. Chemicals have had their poisonous day. It is now the worm's turn to reform. the manhood of England. The only way to regain our punch, our character, our lost virtues, and with them the freedom natural to islanders, is to compost our land so as to allow moulds, bacteria and earthworms to remake living soil to nourish Englishmen's bodies and spirits. 4 The law requiring pasteurization of milk in England was a particular target of Uncle Geoff's. Fond of alliteration, he dubbed it "Murdered Milk Measure," and established the Liberty Restoration League, with headquarters at his house in London, for the specific purpose of organizing a counteroffensive. "Freedom not Doctordom" was the League's proud slogan. A subsidiary, but nevertheless important, activity of the League was advocacy of a return to the " unsplit, slowly smoked fish" and bread made with "English stone-ground flour, yeast, milk, sea salt and raw cane-sugar."
According to Uncle Geoff, national strength could only be regained by

听力原文： Reports say Japan and US have reached an agreement on a dispute over air-cargo transport rights in Asia. The agreement means Washington and Tokyo will re-negotiate 1952 Aviation Treaty which allowed American airlines to fly on from Tokyo to other places of Asia but didn't allow Japanese airlines the same way to fly on from America to other destinations. Tokyo has always said that the treaty was unfair and Japan has always wanted it changed. According to the agreement, Japan will allow American airlines carrier Federal Express to fly on through Tokyo to seven other destinations in Asia. Now Japan has always said it was happy to allow that if the treaty was re-negotiated. It does seem very clear that Japan will come out of this one on top. This is certainly not the first dispute and certainly won't be the last dispute, either. There are several outstanding areas of friction between Japan and US. At the moment, they are negotiating about photographic film and photographic paper. It could take a year to resolve. But even where the two countries do reach an agreement, there is still room for argument. They reach the famous car agreement about a month ago. They are still bickering about it.
