This Changing World
Britain to Withdraw Forces in Palestine
In January Regardless of u. n. Action

from the empire is so sweeping that
even the small garrisons in the West
Indies are being moved home. Po-
lice work is being entrusted to native
constabulary. These are not always
reliable and efficient, British officials
say.
A suggestion was made last sum-
mer that American Marines and
naval detachments which garrison
bases in the West Indies assist in
cases of emergency, but it was
turned down in Washington. The
base agreement with Britain pro-
vides clearly that we have jurisdic-
ton only in the area of the specially
designated bases and are not permit
ted to use our forces outside these
limits.
Sentiment Only Tie.
The British Empire now is COM
posed-with the exception of some
possessions-of only sovereign states,
tied to the mother country merely
by sentimental attachments. The
governors general appointed by Lon
don for the dominions act in a
purely honorary capacity. All inter-
national military, economic and So
cial matters are in the hands OF the
dominion governments, which are
wealthier and more prosperous than
Britain herself.
Under these circumstances the
hard-pressed London government
sees no reason why 1t should pay out
taxpayers money on an extended
army, navy and air force to which
the dominions do not contribute
directly.
The continued presence OF 5000
British troops in Greece is only the
remainder of Winston Churchilps
wartime policy, laid down at time
when the British government be-
lieved that by defeating the Axis the
empire would be maintained.
The Labor government was anx-
ious to remove this token force from
Greece several months ago, but in
response to insistent demands by
the United States nothing was done.
Their presence is said to have acted
as a moral deterrent to the guerril-
las in Northern Greece and is be-
lieved to have prevented an all-out
attack on the troops of the royal
government at Athens.
Prime Minister Attlee and Foreign
Secretary Bevin are determined,
however, to trim Britain's sails and
have informed Washington that
there will be an exodus of British
armies from the Near and Middle
East beginning in January. This
policy, our Government is told, is
and no international
complications can change it.

between five and six thousand dol
lars and, confidentially, I didn't
have quite that much on me when
I reached Panama. Indeed, if it had
not been for the lovely parties given
us by Ambassador Hines and Gen.
Crittenberger. there is a very good
chance that we would have gone
hungry.
For me to try to explain the
workings of the Canal to you would
be more than foolish, because I
have the sort Of mind that cannot
grasp the principle on which scis-
sors work. I wish I weren't so dafty.
because I was shown the Canal
from top to bottom. I watched ships
60 through Miraflores lock from
the control tower, and I saw the
inner workings of the Canal from
deep underground.
Fills Like Bathtub.
The thing about the Canal that
impressed me the most is the fact
that despite all the progress man
has made since 1913, when the Canal
was opened, the machinery that was
installed at that time is still in use.
And it is in use because it still is
the best and simplest ever built. A
hundred new gadgets have been tried
since the first ship passed through
"a years ago, but they were found
wanting.
If YOU think that the raising or
lowering of the ships in the locks Is
slow and tedious process, you
have a surprise coming when you
see the Canal in operation for the
first time. Ships go up and down
as If they were on freight elevator.
Honestly. the gigantic locks fill and
empty as quickly as the average
bathtub.
Evidences of the war still abound
about the Canal At each of the
locks there are great piles of steel
girders. The steel was to be used
for bomb b-proofing the vital locks,
but was never used. The men who
watch from the catwalk of the con-
troll tower now work in the blazing
sun, thanks to the size of our car
riers. When the Navy was shutting
back and forth from the Pacific to
the Atlantic, the carriers presented
a major problem. They had only
inches of clearance, and the bigger
ones sheared off the control tower
caves.

interesting chicken coop. The
before one of the Embassy
servants had called Ambassador
Hines. who is chicken fancier, and
told him that the chickens refused
to come out of their coop into the
run and were acting scared. The
Ambassador got his rifle and started
peering under the coop. He didn't
peer long. Coiled there was giant
one of the deadliest of
snakes. The Ambassador got him
with two shots. The bushmaster
was nearly nine feet long and inside
of him were two plump friers.
It is a superstition with Pana-
manians that the killing of a big
snake calls for playing No. 80 in the
national lottery. Word of the Am
bassador's kill spread quickly. and
by late afternoon not a ticket with
number ending in 80 was to be
had And the funny thing is that
in the next drawing the winning
ticket was 80.
Ambassador Hines is now cunning
for the bushmaster's mate, because
they always run in pairs. If I were
in his shoes, I'd be cunning for
another post.

the Middle East. Constantine nro""'
Several hundred thousand tons OF
war material and military equipmen mt
are on the way to the East African
colony, where important air install
lations are being built.
The bulk of British forces in Pal
estine and India and the handful
still in Greece will be sent home for
demobilization. Only regular army
units will be maintained IN East
Africa to garrison Britain's lieW
principal overseas outpost.
Now a Defensive Power.
Britain's economic and financial
situation does not permit her to
think along imperial lines any
longer. She has become defensive
power and needs a limited numper
of men in her armed forces for the
protection of her lines of communi-
cation and the few colonies she still
has.
The dorninions, which in the past
relied principally on the mother
country to support their defense,
henceforth will have to depend en-
tirely on their own military ability
and on whatever support they may
get in an emergency from the United
States.
The British Imperial Staff, which
had planned to base the empires
defense on the Middle East with the
center In Palestine and Trans-Jor-
dan, has bowed to the decision OF
the cabinet and hopes to extend
whatever protection it can to Brit
aims commercial-particularly oil
interests in that part Of the world.
For this purpose there will be a
small, but highly trained, air force
based on Kenya.

has been telling his, compatriots

stand-ofish and silent, as the

The average American was much

Englishmen were and Zytomirsky
was shocked at the drunkenness he

Churches Committee on Gambling
in London, representing all but the

mates that 100000 to 435 900 people
work at the principal forms Of gam

racing and breeding, football pools,
gambling machines and fun fairs.
Another 10000 to 100000 are

industry and others are working as

not true that all persons working at
gambling are unfit for industry and
adds that 10000 girls now employed
by football pool firms in Liverpool
could probably be employed in cloth
