BY HAROLD GUARD

The working of this Council is expected to have a rapid effect upon the war efforts of the participating countries which include Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the seven East African territories, Burma, Ceylon, Malaya, Hongkong and Palestine, while the recent departure of a delegation from the Netherlands Indies to Australia is authoritatively admitted to be the forerunner of the Indics' inclusion in the bloc.
