This article discusses the new plan of British Colonial Office for changing the political make-up of another sizable part of the British colonies. Following the pattern which has changed colonies into dominions, the new White Paper will outline plans for uniting three of the large, land-locked British "protectorates" in South-Central Africa into a larger federated union which will be expected eventually to assume an autonomous role. The African natives, however, see the plan mainly as a method by which the White settlers in this part of Africa could freeze White supremacy into the culture of all three territories. The natives prefer their territories to remain wards of Great Britain's Colonial Office in their present status as British protectorates.

Nowadays an English provincial newspaper, under the heading of "America Day by Day," gives its readers the news of what has happened in the U.S. the day before. Throughout Great Britain also, the daily papers publish longer or shorter accounts of American news. This article focuses on newspapers about a hundred years ago.

The editor adopted the views of a correspondent who severely criticized the ministers of the day in their actions towards the American Colonies.

The article focuses on the Americana collection of the Pequot Library in Southport, Connecticut. Colonial life was described in ancient, leatherbound volumes kept at the library. The library was home to papers signed by Queen Elizabeth I and Kings Henry VII and Henry VIII and autographs of the founding fathers of the U.S., among others. The collection was transferred to the Yale Sterling Library and was named Monroe, Wakeman and Holman Loan Collection of the Pequot Library Association.

The article presents an overview of magazines for the month of December. The novel "Foregone Conclusions" by William Dean Howell, will have been the most eagerly looked for. In the final installment of "A Rebel's Recollections" the most noticeable fact is that of the religious revival which passed through the Confederate army when all rational hope of success had been abandoned, and which excited a superstitious trust in Providential interference on their side. Scribner's for this month brings to an end the "Great South" series. This energetic undertaking is said, in the editorial notes to have cost the magazine publishers thirty thousand dollars. The papers are to be made into a subscription book for Great Britain and her colonies, as well as the United States; and Messrs.

This article presents developments in the field of literature and it's publishing, as of October 31, 1907. Whether Conservatives or Liberals have been in power, the affairs of India and of Egypt have been conducted with almost the same uniformity as Great Britain's naval policy. The upsetting of two party system at the last general election, the appearance of a powerful third element, means that the separation of domestic and Imperial administrations may not in the future be so rigidly preserved as hitherto. Great Britain is confronted with the grave question whether it can continue to deny a generous measure of self-government to its subjects in India and Egypt. Another development focuses on the work done by several associations and societies in the U.S. for bird breeding.

This article focuses on the debts which were after the end of World War I. In August, 1914, the British deadweight debt was about £650,000,000. Bonar Law, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, estimated last summer that if the war continued, the national debt in March, 1919, would be £8,000,000,000. He calculated that on March 31, 1919, Russia, France, Italy, and the other Allies might owe Great Britain £1,632,000,000, of which he proposed for the time being to reckon only one-half as immediately recoverable. Adding to this the sums lent to the colonies and India's war contributions, he estimated that there would be £1,124,000,000 to be deducted from the gross debt.

This article focuses on the colonial empires of Western European Allies. The empire now consists largely of the British sections of Africa. Four-fifths of Britain's seventy million remaining colonial peoples live there. Its importance is further emphasized by the fact that the rest of Britain's colonies consist largely of islands and coastal settlements scattered broadcast over the world's seaways. Those in the Caribbean area are within sight of self-governing status. Those in South-East Asia may at any time be engulfed by the rising tide of Communism.

The article discusses several issues related to politics from different countries of the world. What constitutes the gravity of the present Venezuelan crisis is not that the United States is issuing a commission of inquiry concerning matters of deep interest to it, but that it is issuing it as a hostile proceeding, with a threat of war behind it. What the United States is going to investigate, therefore, is not whether there is wrong on the British side, but what is the extent of the wrong. The first intimation one get of what was brewing was the announcement in U.S. President's message that Americans were opposed to "the forcible increase by any European power of its territory on this continent"; that Great Britain was actually guilty of this offence, as it was trying "to enlarge the area of British Guiana in derogation of the rights and against the will of Venezuela." This positive pronouncement on the merits of the controversy had several consequences.

This article focuses on relations between the U.S. and Great Britain. The present British attitude toward the U.S. seems to me very jittery and touchy. Great Britain has a near psychopathic obsession with the U.S., America has a complacent attitude that it can take the British Commonwealth for granted, or ignore it. Britain is worried, with some cause, about its economy and its leadership. London, England is dominated by American films and musical comedies. The Broadway hit "Teahouse of the August Moon," opened with acclaim in April 1954 and the "New York Times " cabled over critics' comments.
