AN EMPIRE AT WAR Britain's great colonial empire is mobilising its strength in the battle' foe freedom, Everywhere is' keeu de- sire to enlist in the Army, Navy or Air Force. Round the Seven Seas, British colonies are providing sum plies indispensable to war effort. By the ens! of August, 1940, total cash t:ontributlous frons the peoples of the. Colonial Empire to the general war effort wore approximately 75 cents per head from the sixty million col- onial peoples. In a fleet of lorries, a contingent from the Northern Rhodesia regiment made a mechanised "serail" of 2,000 miles from Lusaka to Nairobi in East Africa. Two-fifths of the total stale Europ- ean population of Kenya had enlisted in the East African forces as long ago as last May. Uganda has formed a local defence force with central officers' training schooland army motor driving school. The Tanganyika Naval Volunteer Force and the Tanganyika Air De fence are co-operating in coastal de- fence. Nigeria has compulsory military training for Europeans up to the age or 40. In Hong Kong all British resi- dents of military age are enrolled in the Colony's defence forces. In both the Straits Settlements and Federated Malay States, British Eur- opeans have either volunteered or been called up under special legisla• time In Mauritius, the territorial force has been reorganised. Skilled trades- men have been recruited for service in the Middle East. Cyprus had the distinction of pro• riding the first unit of colonial troops to arrive in France. Both Jews and Arabs in Palestine have enlisted is great numbers. Volunteer forces in Bermuda were called up and expanded at the begin - Mug of the war. In Trinidad, Live timet the number of then needed have applied for en- listment on the R.N.V.R.

Warners has had it remark- able career. He volunteered ie the last war and won great ,military distinction in the Belgian Army. Since that time he has gained many academie honour's and be- come a prominent figure in Belg- ian politics. He is a professor of Brussels University and a mem- ber of the Belgian Colonial Insti- ly in Belgian Congo and written ly in Belgian Congo and wrtiten a number of books on Colonial questions. Hitler's military victories achieved, for a time, a double psychological re- sult. The German people were filled with faith in a magician who was re- shaping Europe, as though invested with a mysterious power. On the other hand, some superficial neutral onlookers began to be convinced of the invincibility of Nazi Germany.. The Allies, perhaps unwittingly, contributed to establishing this child- ish belief by complacent descriptions of the war methods of the German armies in the first period of the war. They did it, of course, with the praiseworthy object of stimulating the will for resistance and readiness of sacrifice of the democratic masses. The psychological effect of the German successes has been increased in geometrical progression, Hitler has kept his promises of victory with mathematical precision.

Those who had been intoxi- cated by German propaganda are baffled. They are beginning to stake historical comparisons. There is no need to go back very far in time. Kaiser Wilhelm's Germany collapsed almost immediately after achieving indisputable military triumps. The Fuehrer's thirst for conquest is now encountering some obstacles. The time for easly successes is past. In the neutral country which I left for London a month ago, the most absurd stories found credence in defi- ance of all human intelligence. It was whispered that Britain's fate would be sealed within three weeks or that 45 millions of starving and terrorised Britons were spending their lives queuing up for a problematic crust of bread in the daytime, and with col- lective lamentation in the under- ground shelters at night. Britain, it was said, was no mere than a heap of ruins. The electric power stations were destroyed, the Largest city in the world was plunged in darkness. Transport was paralysed. A desperate people was in revolt against its lead- ers. The Empire was collapsing. I ant writing these lines in London, where the roar of the greatest ail' battles in history reaches our ears, The German planes are being brought down by the magnificent pilots of the Royal Air Force at the rate of five to one and sometimes of one a minute.

Astonishing quantities of produce are accessible to all: cof- fee,•oranges, bananas, grape fruit, tropical nuts, pepper, tobacco, olives. and what not. There is something disconcerting about the calm and coolness of this great people. It is due neither to in- difference nor to passivity. With it the sense of national co-operation reaches a prodigious degree. Each one is mobilised either organically or morally. Each is doing his work with orderliness, calm and discip- line.
