This article focuses on the issue of large scale immigration and emigration case in Great Britain. Over the last twenty years, there was a trend of immigration in Britain in a large scale mostly by immigrations from Commonwealth countries, primarily from the Caribbean. But in the year 1963, there was a accelerating trend of emigration of Britons, primarily to Australia. In that year, the Australian government has reportedly received 145,000 applications from residents of Great Britain who wanted to settle in Australia. To have control over this population dynamics, the effectiveness of the Commonwealth Immigrants Act was supposedly found ineffective.

Seven hundred capitalists is a lot of capitalists to see at once. They are members of the blue-serge and gray-flannel and pin-stripe international, just like the people in the corridors of the U.N. or in any professional, technical or administrative convention the world over, including the other side of the Iron Curtain. The so-called free world seems to be divided pretty clearly into three groups. First are the United States of America, Canada and Australia, the other predominantly white or white-governed Dominions, Latin America and, to a much lesser degree, Great Britain itself.

The Australian Prime Minister's oratorical tour of Great Britain is receiving almost as big advertisement in a section of the London press as did British politician Arthur Neville Chamberlain's "raging and tearing propaganda" in 1903. One can scarcely believe that this attention is being given to the Australian Prime Minister purely out of compliment to the colonies, or even in recognition of his personal eminence. Nor does the alleged purpose of his tour explain the phenomenon. Ostensibly the object of his mission is to emphasize the necessity of "organization," but it is difficult to suppose that this journalistic boom is inspired by a sudden passion for system as the great desideratum in British business life.

The article presents information on the independence of India. In many ways it has been a memorable fortnight, crowded with big events-the opening of the Constituent Assembly in New Delhi, first Indian Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru's magnificent speech outlining its objectives, and the parliamentary debate on India in London. Nehru returned from his dramatic flight to London disappointed but not embittered. America, Australia, and China sent messages of good-will which the chairman read out on the opening day, but none came from Great Britain.
