'China—I, An Englishman looks East-The New China '
THIS series of twelve Thursday talks will deal with a country whose problems, racial, social, political, and economic, are the concern of every thinking man or woman today. ' East is East and West is West' is an aphorism that has become more and more questioned as civilization has tended towards its present international aspect. Hard to understand, easy to romanticize, China needs, more than almost any other country, the searchlight of clear think. ing before it can be understood by Western races. The series will aim at giving listeners a detailed idea of the cultural and historical background of this huge country and at providing an intelligent understanding of its contemporary problems. Lord Gosford, who is a Director of the American Tobacco Co. (China), Ltd., is opening the series.
