How the Germans behaved on another occasion
A talk by Hylton Cleaver
Captain Hylton Cleaver attended the last Oympic Games, which were held in Berlin. On this occasion, when the Germans were hosts to the entire world, they went out of their way to entertain well, to dress the shop windows, and to publicise their sportsmen, who were all state-aided and state-enhanced. You will hear a description of the opening ceremony attended by Hitler.

Sir Denys Bray, K.C.S.I., K.C.I.E., C.B.E.
This is the first of a series of three talks to be given on what, though we are apt to forget it, is one of the most important factors in contemporary politics. Sir Denys Bray was from 1920 to 1930 Foreign Secretary to the Government of India. From 1930 to 1937 he was a Member of the India Council and at the end of this time he held the post of adviser to the Secretary of State for India.
