A Bodleian transcription of the original, of which a photocopy is at record 52418.
On the difficulty of their debating (re Asia, Russia, and civilization). This concerns their appearance on the BBC's "London Forum", prerecorded 5 May 1949 and broadcast 6 June, on the topic "Is Regional Association the Most Practical Step Toward World Government?".
"Much the most delicate branch of the subject is Asia, where democracy and economic justice conflict with the preservation of civilization. ... nothing we can do will prevent Asia from going communist."
"Where democracy and civilization conflict, I am for civilization."
