'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.
