Great Britain's European Policy since the Second World War

purpose of this paper is to describe the of British towards Europe during the twelve years immediately following the second world war. I use the phrase of policy advisedly. A is something deliberate and conscious, but a is something more impersonal and even unintentional. Every policy-maker sees his as a single, clear-cut, consistent straight line; but in few sovereign states today, and certainly not in Great Britain, is dictated by one person, or even by one group of people seeing exactly eye to eye with each other. What historians see is therefore not a straight line, but at best a curve, or at worst a zig-zag. It is such a curve, to which the policy-makers' straight lines are no more than tangents, that I have in mind when I speak of the trend of Great Britain's European policy. No one chose or decided upon just this particular trend, though it was of course determined by deliberate choices and conscious decisions. And therefore probably no one, in or out of public life, would accept as his choice, or even his party's choice, exactly what I describe, for the sake of brevity, as having been or now being the of British towards Europe. Nevertheless I hope my description will not be such as to seem absurd to future historians, who will alone be in a position to judge definitively. I take Great Britain's European today to mean not, as up to 1939, the sum or resultant of her policies towards individual European countries, but her towards Europe as some kind of a collective entity or at least towards Western Europe as such. I disregard Eastern Europe (the Soviet bloc) except insofar as what happens behind the Iron Curtain affects British towards Western Europe. I also leave out of account local European problems of the kind that used to lead

A New Species of Arachniotus

The genus Arachniotus was created by Schroter in 1893 for the reception of A. candidus (Eidam) Schrot. (1, 2a, 3), and A. aureus (Eidam) Schrot. (2a, 3), previously referred to the genus Gymnoascus. In these species the ascospores are hyaline, yellowish, or red; the f ruit-body globose or sub-globose, and the peridium composed of loosely interwoven hyphae of more or less uniform size and without any special appendages. On these characteristics the new genus, Arachniotus, was based. The first species, considered the type, was found growing on well-rotted manure in Germany, and in 1901 on an old nest of wild bees, and on dung of the common Roe at Kew, England (1) ; the fruit-bodies .5-2 mm. in diameter, hyaline; asci ovate; ascospores 3-3.5^, hyaline and smooth. The second species was found on decaying vegetables, on wet paper, and on bread in Silesia; the fruit-bodies globose, 1.5-1 mm. in diameter, yellow, hyphae somewhat spiral; asci 8-spored; ascospores 3.5-4/*, yellowish, and minutely spiny. Later A. ruber (Van Teigh.) Schrot. (2b, 4) was transferred to this genus. It is a coprophilous form reported from France, Ger? many, and Britain in Europe and from the Gold Coast in Africa. The distinguishing character of this species is the color of the fruit-body which is pale-yellow at first, but soon turning orange,
