2-A Fellowship of Free Nations In his second lecture Sir Oliver Franks examines the part Britain should play in the new Commonwealth. It is very important, he says, that we see the Commonwealth and our position and relationships within it as they are, and do not allow memories and habit to blur our perception. The independence of the members of the Commonwealth is no merely negative freedom. How can Britain sustain her leadership as one of a group of equal sovereign nations?
