The new line has proved so successful that the Navy intends to employ melamine products on a much greater scale.

Lord (then Mr.) Brougham brought forwawrd a measure to this great end in 1830; and Mr. Fowell Buxton another in I332, but no act was passed till i833; it pro- vidcd that on the lst of August i11 the follo\v— ing year, all slaves should ltccotiie “apprciiticctl labourers" in two classes; that in i838 and i840 respectively, these two classes should re- ceive their actual freedom: that $100,000,000 should ultimately be paid to the masters \‘\'l10 would then lose the service.- of their slaves; it was found on a careful analvsis that on the ist of August 1834 (all negrocs born after that date were born free) there were 770.280 slaves in the colonies affected bv the Emancipation Act.

The military events of the past fortnight have certainly demonstrated the ability of the Allies in the Far EASE to impede very heavily the essential traffic between the mainland of East Asia and the Japanese islands whcreon the offensive power of Japan depends. I-ler capa- city for defensive resistance is, however, prob- ably less dependent on hcavv industry, and the experience of past years is some indication of hcr ability to carry out the programme of pro- longcd resistance that she had laid down for herself. In the Southern areas there is every indication alike of the hopelessness of thee Jap- anese situation and determination to go on fight- ing nevertheless, The formidable task of clear- ance is involving large Allied forces. The Aus- tralians, to whom fall a large share of the 0p- crations, are fighting on fronts extending from Botigaitiville to Balikpapan, and now deploy greater forces than at any previous time in the war, while in South East Asia the Utiitctl King- dom and Indian Fprces, already large, are still

growing.

both as the Tliundei-er and as the

Englishman's Bible) remarks of

Labor's great victory that there's

no reason "why the world should

look for any revolutionary change in foreign-or indeed-in domestic policy.”

Having lived in England many years your columnist accepts that as a fair appraisal. The land of Cedric the Snxon- aristocracy, middle-class and labor-rarely has leaped without taking a good look.

However, we shall make a mis- take if we don't; recognize this political turn-over as epochal not only for Britain but. for the world. What might be regarded its a pass- ing storm in one of the more ln- flammable countrles of the conti- nent, cannot be dismissed lightly in staid Britain.

The voters of this traditionally Conservative country have given a clear mandate to try the experi- ment of socialistlc nationalization. Of course we needn't worry bbout this affecting John Bull's pledges regarding the war and izlobal re- liabllitadon. His word is his bond. Still. this "swing to the left." is likely to affect the outside world both polllicnlly 11nd economically.

We may expect, 1 believe, that Sociallsmls surge to power In Brit.- tnln will afford strong encourage- ment for similar movements in the European continent, which already is seething with political leftist ferment.

The economic side strikes me as being a potential block-buster un- less handled with extreme care. Any sweeping experiment in state ownership, and the consequentdls- placement of private enterprise, would be bound to produce a big change, and whether it would be for the better or for the worse ls one of the lmponderables. Cer- tiilnly it would affect not only Bri- tain but foreign countries. Brit.- aln ls a mighty cog ln world econ- o

Wholesale nationalization over- night doesn't seem likely. Prime Minister Attlee's government ls making its experiment at one of the most trying tlmes 1n Britain's history. It faces a tremendous task of post-war rehabllitationmnd the people want ulck action ln providing better ra Ions, more clo- thes. new homes. They won't stand for delays due to experimentation 1n nationalization.

Should Mr. Attlee make mis- takes, he will ﬁnd a quick chal- lenge from His Majesty's Loyal Opposition-now the defeated Con- servatives, headed by Winston Churchill.

Back in the days when the late Ramsay MacDonald headed the ﬁrst Labor GovernmentsMr. Chur- chill used to make his opponents squirm. I've seen him las Mr. MacDonald until the lover's face was flaming and he was slumped down in his scat until he seemed to be sitting on the middle of his back.

Churchill bolted to the Liberal party and became one of Britain's ﬁghting free-traders,

He wag Under-Secretary for the colonies when barely into his thirties, and a full-fledged member of the cabinet at 34. It yu he who piloted the bill throuih the Commons which gave South Africa self-government. As president o! the Board of Trade and Inter u Home Secretary. he was a. salon- ate advocate of social l slatlon. He canted through an act ssttin minimum wages in c Iwente industries, another “ma; Ip labor exchanges, and a third ntlng shops, Hls Trades Board ct, de- veloped and ex imded, removed one of the darkes blots on English industrial life. By 1 he was a. power tn the Ll eral party and helped Lloyd George carry his historic ﬁght. against the House of Lords. In 1911, when a conflict seemed imminent between Britain and Germany, Churchill was trans- ferred to the admiralty. Hls su- perb performance as First, Lord on the eve of the First World War ls recorded history.

Hls quick deployment of the British navy bottled up the Ger- man ﬂeet. But: there came ln quick succession two operations of great brilliance which falled—Ant- werp and the Dardanelles. It was the failure of these that drove the Idberal government from office. Churchill resigned a minor cabinet post ln the coalition which fol- lowed 11nd went to France to the active command of a regiment. Back to England ln 1917. he be- came successively Minister for Munitions. Secretary of War and Afr Minister, . .

At outs with both Liberals and Conservatives. his enemies pursued him with vindlctlvcness and rari- cour seldom equalled in British 1Jolltlcs. In 1922 he suffered a de- feat so crushing that it would surely have destroyed any lesser man. Running Ln Dundee, he was defeated by both a pro-German paciﬁst. and a prohlbitlonist. A year later he tried again to get into Parliament, and failed again.

Someone once said that Chur- chill was a champion with three iveapons-hls sword, his voice and lils pen. In the dark interlude of his career he put aside the ﬁrst two and turned to the third. The result “'11s his classical histmv of the World War in prose acclaimed the world over by. scholars as English at its best.

There was trouble, then, in India. and Churchill, who had fought. for home rule for South Africa and Ireland. was intransi- gcnt on India. He demanded the use of 11 ﬂrm hand and presently he was out of the government. Once again he was written off by llll lils enemies. In truth, he was at the beginning of the greatest struggle of his life.‘

Somehow, fn the two decades that. followed the First World War the iron seemed to rust in the Brit.- lsh soul. British leadership and world prestige. which the ﬁrst Marlborough raised to itnparalleled heights, sagged and collapsed. The greatness of Britain no longer guarded the weak, for Britain had been turned over to the govern- ment of little men, of timid men, of desperately careful men.
