BATTLES FOR EXPORT

THE

THE British goldier takes the lion's share of an exhibition which was recently opened in London anft which is going on a five-year world tour..

It is designed to show what Britain has dono for the freedom of man and, since the British soldier has accomplished more to that ond than anybody else, it in only right that he should be its hero.

The exhibition is organised by the Charter Club, which plans to raise funds to buy a country house as a centre where people of all nations will be able to gather, There they will learn the principles of British sportsmanship which Mr E. R. Appleton, the founder, believes are desirable in international affairs,

The exhibition consists principally of big dioramas of battles executed by Mr Denny C. Stokes, who made many of the battle dioramas in the Royal United Services Institution. There aré also smaller dioramas and cases of model soldiers of many nations, but mainly British, lont by various model soldier enthusiasts.

FULL RANGE

These model soldiers start from before the Christian era. They cover the full range of the Guards and the whole of the combatant units of the 51st Highland Division, in full dress, ending with commandos and paratroops in battle order.

While Chiang Kai-shek's government is engrossed in fighting a bitter civil war with the Chinese, Communists, Soviet Russia is sitting on the side- lines awaiting an opportune moment to anap up China's far- distant buffer territories-Sin- kiang province, Inner Mongolia and Manchuria-and even has- tening that moment to extend its ever-spreading satellitic bor- der regions.
