Warning From France
It is often pointed out that excessive nationalism has pre vented the reorganisation of
modern Europe as it prevented
ancient the rearscanisation of Greece. The same evil has pro- duced another phenomenon that
is familiar to us from Greek history. Never sinee those days have the disintegrating forces within States been so strong: never has the class war been so conscious and so general. Fac tion, in the old Greck sense, has been spreading with the econo mic disorder that followed the Great War in every country in Europe. Hitler grasped a truth that was mere evident to a man living in the tumult of revolu tion than to Western statesmen living in countries where con stitutional forms survived. This discovery inspired his plans. He determined to make his country strong by foreing it into a rigid mould and to make his neigh- bours weak by fomenting all the He elements. disintegrating used for his own purpose the feara of the rich for their pro- perty in all countries, Intriguing with the base, flattering and tricking the simple. The fall of France was the dramatic climax
of a process that has left no nation untouched. An article by Mr. George Peel in the "Con- "Why temporary Review,"
France Feli," describes vividly a nation "caten out and exhausted by its internal animosities". be- fore the war began.
UNIT
American citizens in London have formed a
heavily armed mobile force-it is, in fact a unit of Great Britain's Home Guard-which for efficiency and military equipment compares favourably with any crack section of the regu- lar U.S. forces.
Its formation resulted in thousands of inquiries from Americans in other parts of the world, by cable letter and telephone, asking to be al- lowed to come and join.
THE first unit is now com- pleting its training with farm- ous British regiments. It is commanded by Brigadier- General Wade H. Hayes, who served on General Pershing's staff in 1918.
It consists of many famous American personalities, pro- fessional and business men.

thought of parachute troops was uppermost in our minds. We all know something of the disorder and havoc they reaped behind the lines, Holland and Belġlum,”
THE following morning Mr. Buquor was on the tele- phone to Mr. Charles Sweeny. He told him that he had an idea which might interest him. Would he come round to see him? Mr. Sweeny was round within a few minutes, and was the first recruit.
Cables were dispatched to America and within twenty- four hours the first ahipment of arms, was, on its way to England, a personal gift from Mr. F. M. Small, president of a famous American Arm, to Mr. Buquor.
These arms are already in use and others are waiting to be unpacked at the London docks. The unit was formed with true American speed. Shooting practice was carried out on ranges, lectures and demonstrations given by Bri- Army units. Tactical
and exercises were held in fast, camouflaged cars belonging to the group, decorated with the insignia of the contingent.

The British motor torpedo- boats may be out-numbered by those of foreign powers. But M.T.B.'s, like submar- ines, do not prey upon each
