Bouquets For Britain
Sir, —Notwithstanding the regretful reluctance of Commonwealth nationals to display “British” on their passports signs are not wanting that . the world’s . favourite Aunt Sally is having a temporary rest from her trig-ger-happy assailants. British troops in Cyprus seem to have earned a few good marks, especially from those who might be taking a hand in the job themselves. Dr. Castro has paid a tribute to Winston Churchill, as well as to Britain’s not wholly insignificant part in the late war. And Dr. Hastings Banda has publicly acknowledged the “maturity” shown by my countrymen in the' difficult task of ceding selfgovernment to their late dependents. They will, says Dr. Banda, “shake hands . . .
and retire with humour and dignity . . . and their example might be followed by the world.” So cheer up, Britannia. Somebody still loves you.—Yours, etc.,
CARACTACUS. February 18, 1964.
