The Spanish Character and the Modern World
Talk by John Marks
Long study of the Spanish character has led John Marks, who lives in Spain and was for ten years Madrid correspondent of The Times, to some unexpected conclusions. He finds a psychological affinity between Spaniards and two other peoples on the periphery of Europe, the British and the Russian. But in emerging after a long period of virtual isolation Spain has turned her eyes in a new direction, towards North America. Her recent pacts with the U.S.A. have exposed her to a fresh influence, but Mr. Marks believes that nonetheless her character will remain slow to change.

Talk by Hugh Seton-Watson
Professor of Russian History at the School of Slavonic and East European Studies
Mr. Seton-Watson discusses the problem of German unity: how this problem is affected by Eastern Europe, and how Germany's relations with her eastern neighbours have been transformed by the changes that have taken place in the last ten years in Eastern Europe.
