Kst Britain Fosters New Fnendsh}p fi View of Writer Who Has Spent the War in London, England. (By HAROLD NICOLSON) I have spent practically the whole of: this war in London. When I look back along: the: vista of years which separate us from that strange day in September 1939, ~when Chamberlain announced that once again we were at war with Germany; I am conscious of many memories. I remember nights when the whole of London seemed to be on fire, and when the crashâ€"of antiâ€"aireraft guns was interspersed with the rising shrieck of â€"falling bombs. I remember mornings‘ when the streets of the great city smelled of dust and ashes, when roads were blocked by fallen buildings, when glass from shattered windows lay deep upor: the pavements, when the hoses of the fire brigades were strung from rogd to road. I remember those anxious days of 1940 when‘ we knew France was lost, and when we feared that the whole British Army might be forced. to surâ€" render. I remember the time when the British Commonwealth stood against the triumphant enemy, and when between us and surrender there stood only the faith of a great people, personified in the willâ€"power and courâ€" age of a tremendous leader. I can reâ€" member loss, anxiety and disaster; I can remember weeks when every day the news. seemed> to. be worse . and worse, and I can rememberâ€"how the people of Britain were never discourâ€" aged, never divided, never dlsmayed cover and prepare our strength; how great and power‘ul nations, unassail~ able if. their own countries and evenâ€" tuallyâ€" irresistible in their own might, came one by one to our assistance. And: as I remember all ~these long and anxious years, L realize today our vicâ€" tory is certain and that in the next few months, though many trials and many disappointments may await us, the great power of the United Nations will build itself up until the moment when the last crushing blow will be dealt to=the Axis ~structure and the whole edifice â€" their schemes, their ambitions and. their power . falls in dust a.ng rubble to the gmund And IL¢can recall how, step by step and ménth by month, we began to‘reâ€" As Fthiik back. on all: these glorious and tragic:events, I anr aware that, having: witnessed all these things from London itself, it seems to me that Britâ€" ain has always been: the‘ center. of strength, has always been the fortress. of resistance around which the might and majesty of theâ€"United Nations has slowly gathered. I sometimes wonrler whether, ha;l I spent these years elseâ€" where, I should have seen the wHole terrible picture from a different ankgle, and therefore in different up to the northwest over the‘ center. of }under their own officers, Their DaTTaACKS en the fortress. ‘and camps are regarded as pieces of nich the might | their own countries.

But independâ€" seen the wHole | ence and coâ€"operation go together, for different angle, to.u the Allied armed forces are welded nt proportiens.|into a single strategic unity by the land; center of resistance against the ‘greatest military power that the world: has ever known? Can it really be true that the people of Britain, who number ‘only half of the population of Germany,, ‘and who‘ are peaceable civilian people ‘untrained| in the arts of war â€" can it {be really true that these people, in ‘moment of world danger, were able ‘first to take upon themselves this enorâ€" mous burden and thereafter to be the centre of so vast an alliance " Had. I asked myself these questions I should have answered, "Yes. . . these things are true.‘" the vast spaces of Asia, Africa and \Rurope, I should have seen this little {island: anchored off a peninsula of ‘Furope; and I should: have said to: _myself, ‘"But can it really be true that ‘this tiny spot of land: upon the world‘s surface can really have been the core Why are they true? I do not preâ€" termi for one moment that the British people are stronger or more clever than the other peoples of the world. I am well) aware that without the heroic strength of China, without the massive ‘brilliance of Russia‘s military achieveâ€" ment, without the generous aid and overwhelming force of the United States, this little island â€" even with the wholehearted support of the Domâ€" inions and the Colonies â€" could not have withtsood for many years longer the organized fury of the Axis, and could never have hoped, as we can now hope with certainty, to bring down the twin monsters of German and Japz>nese militarism to their knees. During that dark year between June 1940 and June 1941, Britain stood virtually alone; but not entirely alone. ‘For Britain had become as mever before the focus and rallying pomt for the* of freedom.* j Here, battered bui: undefeated the remnants of the continental armed forces â€" French, Polish, Belgian, Dutch,. Norwegian, Czech â€" regathered their strength. Swollen by a steady stream of brave men who made their way across the narrow seas, these forces became once again disciplined, skilled, wellâ€"equipped armies, navies and air forces. . Already these arms of the United Nations have fought side by side with their British and American comrades in Africa and elsewhere. Their navies and air forces have been waging offenâ€" sive war from British bases: their main armies stand ready for the great adâ€" vance into tomorrow‘s liberated Europe:. â€"â€" Britain has supplied arms, food, barâ€" â€"racks, camps â€" even uniforms â€" for theseâ€" Allied: soldiers, sheâ€" and. America ’have handed over hundreds of the latest aircraft, and she has replaced ‘Allied warships sunk in service. ‘ _ Allied: forces in Britain fight ‘under their own officers. Their barracks training schools. The men wear their own nationalâ€" uniforms. But independâ€" ence and coâ€"operation go together, for all the Allied armed forces are welded into a single strategic unity by the plans of the combined staff committees J. R‘.

A Polish sehool of architecâ€" ture is now operating. in Liverpool. Each government has drawn up plans for the education. of its young. people along the traditional lines of national culture; setting up its:.own sehools with the aid. and.coâ€"operation of a British council. Technical schools are preparing the citizensâ€"toâ€"be: of liberated Europe for their vit@l tasks. ‘The. Belgian Ministry of Education, for instance;, with the help of British authorities, established seventeen eleâ€" mentary schools, three secondary schools and a technical school. Naâ€" tional and British teachers work side by side in many of these schools. They have not lost their national freedom, culture or laws during their temporary exile. But they have gained "Good pork!

Gravenhurst,. Ont., August 3.â€" Lieut. Peter Krug, German airman who has escaped several times from Canadian prison camps, was reported missing last night from: an officers‘ camp in the Gravenhurst district. Krug, who testified. against his beneâ€" factor, Max Stephan, in the latter‘s treason trial at Detroit last year, was swimming with other prisoners: and did not report at the rallâ€"call afterward. If he escaped from the camp, it is believed he did so,in swimming shorts. Krug was befriended in Detroit by Stephan after the Nazi: bomber pilot escaped‘ from a Bowmanville Ont., camp April 17, 1042.

Workmg c Towards Greater Freedom _ the British Empire is the colonial empire or, as it is sometimes cailet, the dependent empire â€" an emâ€" pire of colonies ranging by infinite graâ€" dations from the responsible governâ€" ment of Cevion to the system of tuteâ€" lage Oof trusteeship in other areas; an empire which is being edugated and is more and more educating itself, to an ultimate consummation of full selfâ€" government in which it too, like the Indian Empire, will enter the British Commpnweal h of Nations s o o e _ iPolitical systems generally cohere by |, virtue of a large element of compulsion, | B legal or constitutional, backed by that force which always stands behind the taw. The political system of the British Commonwealth of Nations, which sets the tone and gives the color to the whole of the Eimpire, is the only politiâ€" | cal system hitherto developed‘ which| ‘coheres neither by law nor by force, ‘but purely and solely by consent and | ‘the common acceptance of a "gentleâ€" !; man‘s agreement" as its basis. A set of uncodified and unlegalized, but not unâ€" | ‘expressed or unfelt understandings is its | foundation and cement. | Mqanwhile the colonial empire is the most remarkable of laboratories, full of tentative experiments in the great art of human government, tentative exâ€" periments always directed to the greater broadening of freedom. (The Colonial Secretary has recently announced the offer of a new constitution for Jamaica, with a new scheme for an executive government half elected by a popular assembly based on universal suffrage, ‘and ‘half nominated by the Britishn governor.) ‘All the three societies of the British Empire are one around the pivot of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland â€" one round its King, who is also their King. To be one "around a pivot" is not necessarily to be controlled by the pivot. To some the pivot may be simply a magnet drawing them into a system of voluntary coâ€" »peration for common and mutuai benefit. case with the parts of the colonial etnâ€" pire which achieve responsibel. governâ€" ment. To Oothers the pivot may be control as well as a magnet, as with, the major part of the colonial empire. But it is a control exercised. in the intrest and. for the wellâ€"being of those over whom it is exercised â€" and not only that (for that in itself might be a domiâ€" nating and domineering things, however well intended), but also control inâ€" tended to give way to the liberty of free selfâ€"government and to encourage and elicit the capacity for such governâ€" ‘ That is the case with the Dominions. It is coming to be the case with the Inâ€" dian Empire. It is coming _to be the The compulsion of law, backed by | the ultimate compulsion of force, may | still continue to exist for a period of | transition in the Indian Empire; and it | will continue to exist, for many years, | in the,colonial empire â€" but in dfferâ€" ' ent degrees in its different parts â€" durâ€" ing the period of its progressive educaâ€" tion and emancipation. But the genius | of the Commonwealth colors and inâ€" spires the whole; and the pattern of the Commonwealth is set before every part as the ultimate design for the structure ‘of its own life. That pattern and design. is one of agreemnt and understandings: â€" not of law and force. All‘this is a lesson and an example in the art of keeping together and living common life, of tolerating differences and \}tga_fiing them together in a comâ€" mon agreement. To be a British citizen is to be in company with the Austtaâ€" lians grd New Zealanders, the South Africans and the Canadians, Junjabis and Gengalis, Rajuts and Sikhs, Hinâ€" dus and Mahommedans, Ceylonese and Malayese, Africans of Nigeria and of Uganda, the people of the West Indies and of the Pacific Islands. There are magnitude and: dimension to so great a company and, even more, the ‘rich sense of variety and the: feeling: of. a community in: all the variety. We are brothers: we know how to keep toâ€" gether; we know how to pull together.. Human ‘fellowship and Human neigh»â€". borliness are great and cardinal virtues.. Itâ€"we are to have peace in our children‘s. time, and their children‘s time, it is a virtue that must be practiced.
