by W. H. Auden
Mr. Auden recently re-read Huckleberry Finn and in this extempore recording he suggests that differences in the character and behaviour of Huck and Oliver Twist give a clue to the reasons why Britons and Americans often differ, particularly in their atlutude to nature, time, and money.

Talk by Peter Bell
"Biologists," says Mr. Bell, "often find that problems of evolution on which, on the face of it, look perfectly simple, have a way of turning out to be extraordinarily complicated." He describes one such complication he has studied in South America — the evolutionary problem presented by certain tropical trees and shrubs with which ants are always found associated.
The speaker is a Lecturer in Botany a University College, London.
