Talk by Otto Kahn-Freund
Professor of Law.
In the University of London
Professor Kahn-Freund considers to what extent the freedom to strike can or should be restricted by legislation. He fears that many of the legal changes that have recently been suggested would only result in more unofficial strikes.

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.
