2: Foreion Policy and Rearmament
Introduced by RICHARD HISCOCKS
Professor of International Relations, University of Sussex
Since 1949 West Germany has been restored to a place in the Western Alliance and the international community. but within the Federal Republic there has been a conflict between those who admire President de Gaulle's conception of Europe and those who favour close links with America. A guideline of the Federal Republic's foreign policy has been the Hallstein Doctrine—a refusal to have diplomatic relations with any country that recognises East Germany. Now an agreement with Rumania suggests that the direction of West German foreign policy is changing. At the same time the whole subject of foreign policy has been complicated by the Question of German rearmament.
Produced by Chris Cuthbertson

Voltaire as Correspondent by Jean SEZNEC
Fellow of All Souls, and Marshal Foch Professor of French Literature in the University of Oxford
Recently Dr. Theodore Besterman published the 104th, and last. volume of his edition of the correspondence of Voltaire. Professor Seznec considers what effect this tremerdous achievement has had on our picture of Voltaire as the centre of the Enlightenment's communicationsnetwork.Andhe argues that far from being an archaic figure in the world of modern specialisation. Voltaire is 5till an admirable exemplar of graceful and civilised common sense. What we need today is a * gigantic Voltaire.'
