The most original article in the Press this week is by the veteran thinker, Sir Norman Angell,' Ala fair has always been to reveal pattern of to the public the" great general,

offairs which the public, with its interest in details, has failed to notice. In "Time and Tide" he writes about the future of the Commonwealth.

He says that it is very strange, as indeed it is, thot

wo have failed to appreciate that, but for the enormous migration from Europe to America the seven-

tleg, eighties and nineties of the la century, America could never have nebleved the strength which enabled it to save Europe from Hitler in the last war, and to pro- tect it against Russla today.

Moral for us

in the eighteen sixties, America was o country of 30,000,000, racked by exhausting civil war, by Inflation, and by bitter raelal conflict. Today it is country of 150,000,000 people, economical- and militarify the most power- ly and ful State in the world.What has given it its strength is, firstly, the Jaws, Institutions, ideas and customs of life on which the American State Was based; second, and indispensible, the sheer inflow of population from Europe to live under these insti- tutions..

Sir Norman says that there is moral in this for the Common- wealth. We, like America, have institutions and ways of life which give 15 strength. We

America, have, like

abundant land and resources. But the Commonwealth is fatally weak- ened as a world power by its lack at population. "The Common- wealth must do what the United States has already done. It must convert the 30,000,000 of its overseas Dominions into

EMPIRE TALKS ON OIL

London, April 3. A secret Commonwealth oil #onference ended in London today after deciding on con- crete proposals to

No official announcement was made, and the actual figures of the proposed cuts were not divul- ged.
