The Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Ramsey, said: "Immigrants have to learn a lot about this country and its funny ways and wc natives need to know a great deal more about immigrants � what sort of people they arc and how to get on with them and help them. It we know about one another � what are the sort of things which arc likely to annoy � wc can tackle the task of becoming less annoyed and more neighbourly."
A few days before the new National Committee for Commonwealth Immigrants held its first meeting, says the London Times, ' the Archbishop, whose appointment as chairman was announced from the Prime'Minister's office, called a press conference to explain . how the committee will carry out its work of promoting and coordinating on a national basis efforts towards integration of Commonwealth immigrants.
There now existed a large population of immigrants in Britain and whatever the rate of increase might be it was urgently necessary "to create the conditions under which immigrants will live happily among us and wc shall live happily with them as neighbours."
The tackling of the practical problems was one of the ways in which racial prejudice might be lessened, be said.
Besides the promotion of particular action by persons with the necessary
skills, he said, there was also the task of bringing about a greater understanding of the problems by the community generally.
"The challenge is both to the intelligence and to the conscience of all of us citizens", the Archbishop added. He appealed to citizens generally to see the bigness of the challenge and help the work of the committee. "It would be to the shame of our country, to leave this immense problem to the mercy of inaction and racial prejudice", he said.
The Archbishop politely fended off questions aimed at discovering his attitude to aspects of the Government's White Paper, particularly stricter controls. The new committee was charged with the problem of integration irrespective of current policy concerning controls, he said. But he intimated that if the committee found that the work of integration was being hindered by the policy, they would tell the Government so. "I regard us as having a free hand in giving any advice we like to the Government", he said. ' He was asked whether nationalist organizations, some of them militant, which had been set up, were going to help or hinder the committee. "I am sure they could hinder a lot if they tried", the Archbishop replied. "But one of the aims of our committee will be to cut the ground away from racialist propaganda by removing the bad conditions which racialist propa-

ganda is able to exploit."
If the housing problem was handled in a quite haphazard way where there was a large influx of immigrants there could be unsatisfactory conditions and people could start blaming one another and stirring up prejudice.
"Would the committee then press the Government for special housing help in immigrant areas? "I think it is our business to press the Government for every need we see in these fields where action from the Government could really help", he said, reports the London Times. The Archbishop, asked if there was need for wider dispersal of immigrants, said one of their chief tasks was to help immigrants find their way to localities which were best able to receive them regarding housing, employment, anc} education.

Family circumstances must be considered, but, he added, it was possible to move a husband and his family if a place could be found where they would be happier.
Mr. Foley, Parliamentary Under-Secretary in the Department of Economics Affairs with special responsibility for immigration, said that on his recent travels he had found that immigrants, wherever they came from, wanted to be.treated as human persons with exactly the same rights and responsibilities as anyone else. It required education to bring about a change in atmosphere, "The plain, hard fact is that these people are here and should be treated as equals � and they are not", he said.
The Archbishop said the committee would watch what was happening in different localities and would give information and guidance to places where not enough was being done. They would be in touch with the efforts of local authorities and liaison committees set up in areas where immigrants had settled in considerable numbers.
They would work partly through a number of panels in which some members of the committee would be able to collaborate with other individuals and organizations, including immigrants themselves, says the London Times. The committee will issue reports from time to time.

"In fact, Great Britain can release three million men from England for an invasion of the Continent, and do it with full safety."
In 1942 Mr. Levy became the instructor at the first United States training school for guerrilla fighting, at Concord, Mass. He had lectured widely on his specialty and was credited with designing a knife used in combat by Carlsen's raiders.
He was born in Hamilton, Ont., and he enlisted in the British Army at the start of World War I. He learned about war on the front lines. Fighting in Palestine, he met the scouts of Lawrence of Arabia, who taught him guerrilla tactics, says the New York Times. Near the end of the war he was poisoned in a gas attack and sent home.
.-� He fought as a1 "paid soldier in the Nicaraguan revolt of 1926, and when the Spanish civil war started in 1936, he joined the Loyalist International Brigade. It was his practice of guerrilla warfare in Spain that brought him to the attention of the British Government.
In February, 1937, he was captured near Madrid. His wife, then in Windsor, Ont., appealed to Premier W. L. Mackenzie King to get him home. She insisted that he had been hired by the Loyalists to drive a truck behind the front lines, but that they later forced him to fight. He was released from a Spanish prison camp in May of 1937.
Mr. Levy's peacetime profession was that of printer. He had also driven a taxi in Cleveland, Ohio. At his death he was an American citizen.
