THE BRITISH AT WAR:
THE EMPIRE'S SHARE
(Continued from Page 10)
Prime Minister of Boer race. The Dominion is rapidly expanding its air force. It has announced its readiness, not only to provide for its own defence, but also to share, if the occasion should require, in the defence of neighbouring African territories.
The two smaller Dominions, New- foundland and Southern Rhodesia, are also rendering valuable assistance to the Navy and the Royal Air Force to the extent of their capacities.

In India there is a wide measure of participation. Immense resources of men and material are available and will be forthcoming. But here again dificulties arise. The Con- gress Party, by far the largest poll- tical organization in India, is in con- troversy with the great Mohamme- dan community, of over eighty mil- lions of people, with the · · Ruling Princes, and also with the British Government. While anxious not to impede the war effort, it withholds a formal support. But this much is quite certain. Whether in India, in Eire or in South Africa, there is not the smallest sympathy or support în
