WORLD’S “POOR RELATIONS”
ARCHBISHOP’S VIEWS OF BRITAIN (Rec. 9.30 a.m.) LONDON, July 16. The Archbishop of Canterbury (Dr. G. F. Fisher), speaking in London last night, described Britons as “the poor relations of everybody in the world.’l^. He added: “It may be that that is not a bad thing for us. During the last century we as a nation have come to regard ourselves as wealthy, prosperous. and able to impose our will throughout the world. We are certainly neither wealthy nor prosperous, and it is obvious that we Cannot impose even our best intentions on the world.” „ . He thought the average Englishman had not realised how near to fundamental disaster they were as a nation.
