Dark Continent Is Defence Line To The Far East By JOHN DAUPHINEE Canadian Press Staff Writer London, Dec. 26 -- (CP) -- The growth of nationalism through North Africa and Asia has smash- ed Britain's defence line to the Far Hast and transformation of Central Africa into a new strategic hub now has begun, That was the prime defence de- velopment of 1947--a year in which Britain's armed forces, because of post-war shortages of manpower and materials, were slashed by Prime Minister Attlee's Labor gov- ernment to a level many military experts termed "unsafe." "Without the Mediterranean route we might have gone under in the war," Field Marshal Smuts sald 18 months ago. It is unlikely the route could be relied upon in any future world conflict. Leading British strategists make no secret of their belief the Eastern Mediterranean could not be held for long against such modern wea- pons as the atomic bomb. And beyond Suez, the future of major British land bases is in seri- ous 'doubt. Old Bases Closed These are the problems: 1. British forces will soon be out of Palestine, if government plans are carried through. : 2. British bases in most of Egypt have been closed down and British forces moved into a narrow zone along the Suez Canal, their length of stay dependent on the re- sult of stalemated Anglo-Egyptian treaty talks. 3. British troops are being with. drawn from old India, following es- tablishment of the new Dominions of India and Pakistan (which ulti- y may leave the Common- wealth, if they wish). -4 Burma has been granted in- dependence outside the Common- wealth, 8. Malaya's political future is nséttled, and the anti-British.na- tionalist movement is strong, Field Marshal Montgomery, chief of the Imperial Staff, began a com- prehensive African tour fn Novem- ber. His report, military inform- ants sald, would result in convert- ing that continent into the 'bas. tion of the Commonwealth." Pirst positive step in that direc tion is the establishment 65 miles northwest of Mcebasa, on the east coast of a huge military depot. War Secretary Shinwell told the Com- mons "large accumulations" of equipment from Middle East and Indian Ocean areas are being gath- ered there. | Twenty thousand Africans are being recruited as a laber force to build roads, bridges and fuel instal. lations' in that area.

The conference delegates' ap- proval quietened left-wing critics. Bevin spoke bluntly of Russian methods and their use of veto pow- ers in the United Nations. He growled that the United Nations security. council had become "large- ly a propaganda show." Russia declined to co-operate in a conference: he organized to prepare recommendations for United States help to Europe. Britons, like mil. lions in Eurcpe, looked on the Mar- shall Plan as the most hopeful bridge to better times. Communist Meanwhile, the pattern of Com- munist progress in Eastern Europe became familiar, indifferent to British and American protests. Op- position leaders in Hungary and Poland fled in fear of the firing squad and Bulgaria executed the anti-government Nikcla Petkov. Yugoslavia became headquarters of the new "Cominform," designed to |. co-ordinate information--and poli- cies, if desired--of Communist par. ties in Russia, France, Cazechoslo- vakia, Hungary and Italy, Bevin advocated a European cus- tions union to facilitate trade ex- changes, startled Washington with a proposal United States gold hold. ngs should be redistributed through _ out the world and caused almost as much of a surprise with his sugges- tion" that a Commonwealth cuse toms union be set up. He "bitterly regretted" Dutch military opera tions in Indonesia to check nation. alist forces. . He demanded recognition for the Dominions in peace negotiations, including the treaty to cover Japan. He continued to win Conservative support for his foreign policy in general, although oppositfon mem- | - bers Ytioned reductions in British armed forces which he considered safe, Troops are being called home even from Greece where they help- ed support a government locked in combat with Leftist guerrillas, Prime Minister Attlee described the government's foreign policy in terms approved by all parties as standing for "a community of free nations, which, though differing in their political constitutions and their economic systems, will co- operate in the Interest of all" He cited the British Commonwealth as a model of that system in operation, Block Destroyed As $1 Million Fire Hits Philadelphia Philadelphia, Dec. 29 (AP)-- A $1,000,000 fire. burned out five buildings Sunday, and dama- ged 4 half-dozen adjoining struc. tures and routed 11 families be- fore. . more than 400 firemen brought the wind-fed flames un- der. control.

ZOOLOGICALLY SPEAKING Zoologically speaking, apes are more like man than like monkeys. World Loses Notable Men During 1947 By The Canadian Press It was a grim commentary on the state of the world in 1947 that one of the world's prominent figures to die during the year did so by his own hand and few blamed him for his act. . John G. Winant, 53, United States ambassador to Britain during the Second World War and a prominent statesman often likened to Abra- ham Lincoln in appearance and sta- ture, shot himself Nov. 3 in his New England home. Friends said he had been despondent for months over the failure of the coming military peace to bring peace to the mind of the world. ho The year also brought death to two of the globe's few remaining monarchs--King George II of Greece and Christian X of Denmark--and Earl Baldwin of Bedley, three times prime minister of Great Britain, A prince of the Roman Catholic Church, Rodrigue Cardimal Ville- neuve, Archbishop of Quebec, Most Rev. D, T. Owen, Anglican Arch- bishop of Toronto apd Primate of all Canada and Viscount Bennett, former prime minister of the Dom- inion, were among prominent Ca- nadians who died during the year, A liberal like Winant and a man of many parts, Fiorello H. LaGuar- dia, 64, was among the men of good will lost to the world. Former reform mayor of New York, direc- tor-general of U.N.R.R.A, columnist and broadcaster, he died in New York, Sept. 20. European Monarchs King George of Greece died April 1 at the age of 56, in the midst of his country's political turmoil. He died from a heart attack in Athens seven months after returning to his throne from an exile caused by war and political uncertainty. King Christian, beloved by Danes during the 35 years of his reign, died in Copenhagen April 6, also from a heart attack at the age of 76. Earl Baldwin, 80, Britain's prime minister at the time of the consti- tutional crisis that resulted in the abdication of Edward , now ke of Windsor, died at Stour- part, Worcestershire, Dec. 13. Cardinal Villeneuve, 63, died at Alhambra, Calif, Jan. 17 after a long 1llness. He had been in critical condition in New York but had re- covered sufficiently to make the long trip to the west coast. Death came suddenly to Archbishop Owen, 70. He was srtiken with a heart at- tack at his desk and died in hos- pital a few hours later. Viscount Bennett, who went to England in the late 1930s and re- ceived his title, died at his Surrey estate' June 26 at the age of 78. Long prominent in Canadian affairs he was prime minister from 1930 until 1935. Henry Ford died April 7 at the age of 84 at his home near Detroit, a city famous for its motor indus- try in which the industrialist was a pioneer. The industry lost another pioneer in William €. Durant, 86, founder of the huge General Mo- tors Corporation. He died March 17 in New York. Titled Notables Many titles passed Jin succession during 1947.
