4-Dogma or Experiment? by Kenneth Robinson
Fellow of Nuffield College, Oxford
Does the application of the formula 'independence within the Commonwealth' conflict with that empirical approach to politics on which Britain is apt to pride itself? How has that approach actually worked in the past? Can it suggest solutions to present problems of emergent nationalism in the dependent Empire-for example, in some of the many smaller Colonial territories?

Talk by Hubert Wellington
Recently an exhibition was held at Dieppe of works by Walter Sickert and Jacques-Emile Blanche , both of whom had for long periods worked and lived in the town. Hubert Wellington went to the exhibition. It recalled to his mind the summer of 1906, which he spent painting at Dieppe in the company of Sickert and Spencer Gore.
