“The commonwealth idea, on the basis of equality, must be the basic principle of the future security and prosperity of the world," declared Mr Ernest Bevin, Minister of Labour, addressing members of the Foreign Press Association at a luncheon in London.
In the post-war years, he declared, people will be less con- cerned about political sovereignty than about free institutions and the advancement of the standard of life.
"I believe the next 'war' after; this one will be declared, not be tween races or nations, but on poverty, ignorance, desolation and all kinds of things that have! alled humanity-many of which; have been used and exploited in the past for political aggrandise.] ment and the wrong kind of WIE."
What he had in mind on that last!

Girl of 15 Becomes High Constable of Scotland
By an event without precedent in the peerage, a girl of 15 has become Hereditary Lord High Constable of Scotland. She is Lady Diana Denyse Hay, who has succeeded to the Scottish earldom of her father, and Earl of Erroll, whose death at Nairobi,| Kenya, recently is being probed, Sir Elves Broughton being charged with murder.
The position of Hereditary Lord High Constable of Scotland, to which Lady Diana also succeeds, is an office held by the head of her family for 600 years. It was conferred on Sir Gilbert Hay, Lord of Erroll, by Robert Bruce in 1815.
