How ' secure ' can any nation ever be? Can a state be armed for defence without appearing to threaten its neighbours? Does not the quest for absolute security lead inevitably to the very insecurity it is trying to avoid? Mr. Howard considers these problems in the light of some historical examples.

A talk by Emanuel Litvinoff on some conversations he had with Jews during a visit to the U.S.S.R.
