'U.S.S.R.'
G. F. Hudson
Interlocutor: Sir Frederick Whyte,
K.C.S.I.
The Pacific, as Sir Frederick Whyte said in his opening talk of the series, is not a compact region like the Mediterranean. Its significance varies with the viewpoint of the observer. Britain, as a maritime power, thinks naturally of the sea approach -it is for the British Empire the road leading to Australia and New Zealand. The Russians, however, always think of the Far East continentally-the Pacific is the Eastern frontier of the Soviet Union.
G. F. Hudson, whose previous three talks in this series have dealt with China, Japan, and Great Britain itself, will tonight discuss the U.S.S.R. in relation to the Pacific.
