The struggle that follows may be severe, and may lead to grave complications throughout the world. This, however, is a time wjien lots ti predictions fall short of expectation, l or example, when Britain withdrew from India, the consequences would be horrible. Yet, India apj years to be reasonably calm. The recent election in Italy involved such a tangle of hatreds and intrigue that few indeed, could foresee just how dire everything in all likelihood, would be. Hut Italy is still all in one piece. There may be war, but let us hope that it can be confined to its present proportions and then reduced by reasonable negotiations. CLOSER UNDERSTANDING EVIDENCE of the increasing importance FURTHER of Canada in the British Commonwealth scheme of things is furnished in the report of Mr. Cillis Purcell, general manager of The Canadian Press, to the effect that British newspapers, despite restricted space, are carrying a growing amount of Canadian news. In contrast to the sparse coverage afforded this Dominion's events a decade or two ago, the change in policy is a development of considerable significance. As Mr. Purcell remarked, tHe immigration of a larf?e number of residents of the British Isles has tended to increase the interest in the country to which thy have come. Over" and above that, . however, is the natural curiosity of the people of Britain in a land which is gaining wider recognition in the sphere of international affam The further fact that the Canadian larder is being opened on a generous scale to those whose diets "" profit from the staples and supplements that are shipped from this country adds a further inducement to know more of this vast territory. Whatever the causes, however, the result is gratifying. The greater the interchange of news, the closer will be the understanding between fellow members of the Commonwealth on each side of the Atlantic.
