isle Commonwealth of Nations.
'Two South American republics,
Chile and Argentina, and one Central
Aniereian country, Guatemala, have
apparently concluded that the present
is au opportune time to try to wrest
away from Great Britain a few of her
far-flung possessions. These little nat-
ions, relatively unimportant, who sel-
fishly gained rather than lost through
the two great world wars, are now
trying to profit by the peace also at the
expense of a war-weakened Great
Britain.
Chile and Argentina both covet the
Falkland Islands and some other Brit-
ish territories which lie south of them
on the continent of Antarctic. Great
Britain legitimately won these territor-
ies by discovery, conquest or coliniza-
tion, and is in possession, The Falk-
land Islands were ceded to Britain by
Spain in 1771, but not colonized until
1833, They are a very important South
Atlantic British naval base, The South
American republics claim that they
should own these territorials because
of geographical propinquity. Argen-
tina also bases its claims to the Falk-
land Islands on a few years' temporary
colonization prior to 1833, which the
British drove off.
The Falkland Islands lie in the
South Atlantic ocean about 250 miles
off the mainland of South America, so
the claims are groundless and even
fantastic. No less irrational are Guat-
emala's claims to British Honduras,
which are based solely on geographical
contiguity. Shipwrecked British sailors
colonized British Honduras in 1638
and the country has been a British pos-
session every since, and never has
Guatemala, though a close neighbour,
ever colonized or owned any part of
the country, so it has absolutely no
legal claim whatsoever.
The British Empire will not be co-
erced into yielding to avaricious, pre-
datory nations territories which have
been British possessions for hundreds
of years. Great Britain has sent a cruis-
er to the Falkland Islands and two
cruisers to the Central American
trouble spot to warn all nations that
there is still plenty of life and fight in .
the British Lion. Hands off the British
Empire! * * *
AFRICA'S FUTURE
LOOKS BRIGHT
The future of Africa south of the
Sahara desert—a subcontinent much
larger than the United States—looks
extremely bright. This tremendously
rich territory could perhaps sustain
as many people as Europe, but has
only four or five million white inhab-
itants. Now that the British and other
European nations are withdrawing
much of their power and influence
will last longer.
