No nation which makes a pretense of ambition is without its information system. This has been true since the days of ancient Egypt and China. Tt was true in Greece and Rome, and in the days when Portugal ad Spain were in the ascendant. It is true of the modern world—in a most elaborate fashion. | No one wise in the ways of diplomacy doubts for a moment that British agents are channeling back to London a great maze of information abolt develop- ments in this country.
