GOETHE
PREFACE
The present, the 104th, edition of THE STATESMAN'S YEAR-BoOK has, as
always, tried to fulfil its aim to present a truthful and comprehensive account
of the state of the world. In this year, when Canada celebratea the cen·
tenary ofits federation, the constitutional development within the Common
wealth of Nations has added three more independent members to their free
association, namely Botswana, Lesotho and Barbados, now listed in their
proper ehronologieal order. On the other hand, the obseure position of the
self-governing colony Rhodesia has made it advisable to take this British
territory out of the seetions dealing with both the dependent and inde·
pendent divisions, and to plaee it by itself until an aeeepted solution of its
status has been found.
Onee again the editor takes this opportunity to express his sineere thanks
to the regular eontributors and the membel's of his staff as weil as to oeca
sional correspondents all of whom have eo-operated to asaure anew that
THE STATESMAN'S YEAR-BoOK maintaills its proud tradition of aecuraey
alld reliability.
