has reached a very sensible decision regarding its relations with ex-service iii ni of the former enemy countries. The British section of the federation failed to find'sufficient Support for its proposal that the Federation should forthwith be made international by the inchision of the German, Austrian and other ex-servicemen's organisations, on the ground ihat,thia would have involved not only changing. the existing statutes completely, but also abandoning the name Fidac, which has become a symbol' of the unity'so far attained. But it has been decided instead to make contact annually with the ex- enemy ex-service men, to discuss with them questions affecting world peace, and to set up a permanent committee representing Fidac and the other organisations to make the necessary arrangements. This seems to meet all immediate' needs, and it is probable enough that if the proposal yields the results hoped for, the larger 'unity aimed at by the British Legion may in due time bb achieved.
