MORE PUBLICITY URGED
BRITISH TROOPS IN WEST. LONDON, Mar. 7. Eighty per cent, of the troops of the I’irst Canadian Army engaged in the battle for the Rhine come from the United Kingdom, .says the Daily Telegraph. It mentions this fact, not to discredit the Canadians, but because it alleges that the part played by the British troops is “suffering something not far short of a complete blackout.” The paper says: “Admiration is due in full measure for the exploits of the Americans and Canadians, but no official cognisance is being taken of the part played by British troops. “By contrast with the studied obscurantism of our authorities the Americans frequently state the name of a division engaged in a particular operation without conferring any apparent benefit on the enemy. Can no means be found of giving the British troops the credit due to them and at the time it is earned?”
