Fellow of All Souls College, Oxford
* What answer are we to make,' asks Mr. Pares, ' to the revolt of three-quarters of the world against Colonialism? ' He suggests that we should ' face and consider the charges against our forefathers as a dispassionate historian might hope to consider them in the distant future.' His comments are prompted by Sir Alan Burns 's recent book In Defence of Colonies.
