One Thing Needful.

LORD Northcliff, head of the British War Mission to America, sent an inspiring message to Reuter a few days ago. "Linking up all efforts and resources, not only between Great Britain and her Allies," he said, "but also between the various great dominions and the Motherland is essential to a speedy victory." Again: "I urge closer and more intimate co-ordination not only between the Allies but Australia, New Zealand, South Africa of the Empire, for I am convinced that closer and yet closer companionship between all that the British Empire means and the United States of America is the only thing that can save civilisations." He does not give specific details of what he wants, but no one can doubt that he utters a great truth, of which the full force and meaning has yet to be realised. And it will never be realised adequately so long as papers like the Globe, which are perpetually pandering to the worst racial passion, will continue to obtain a hearing.
