And Colonies

The Marquess of Londonderry, speaking before the Overseas League in London, urged that Bri- tain's policy on colonies should be fully and quickly stated, without any shadow of doubt.

"It is said to be the next item of Herr Ilitler's programme," he went on. "We are determined not to sacrifice one individual or one inch of territory, and that we will accept with its fully implications any challenge to that policy.”

Lord Londonderry, who insisted that the peace of the world depended on a real Angle-German understanding, described the policy pursued by Herr Hitler in the past year as a grievous dis- appointment.

NOW-WHAT'S TH' MATTER WITH MAGGIE? I THOUGHT SHE WAS GLAD THAT SHE DOESN'T HAVE TO SERVE ON THE JURY ANYMORE-
