It. was whispered that â€"Britain‘s fate would be sealed within three weeks or ‘that 45 millions of starving and terrorâ€" ized Britons were spending their lives queuing up for a problematic crust of bread in the daytime, and with collecâ€" tive lamentation in the underground shelters at night. Britain, it was said, ‘ was no more than a heap of ruins. _ But it may be doubted whether the process of collective bewitchment will have a lasting effect. : Hitler announced that he would be in London on August 15. failed to keep the appointment. > OA e S s .

The German ‘planes Aare being down by the magnificent pilots of the Royal Air Force at the rate of five to one and sometimes of one a minute. The power of the Empire is unimpairâ€" ed.

Astonishing quantities of produce are accessible to all: coffee, dlill~® They orthy | oranges, bananas, grape fruit, tropical nuts, pepper. tobacco, olives, and what not. i There is something disconcertinz 'about' the calm and coolness of this great. people. It is due ncither to inâ€" difference nor to passivity. With it It is a significant fact that, in spite of ephemeral triumphs, the German ’peopl_e need to be drugged by false news. In Britain German communiâ€" ‘ques are published daily in full. Anyâ€" one can listen freely to Nazi broadcasts if he happens to want to do so: The demosratic liberties â€"are fully respected: The Press comments on Government action with a, surprising frankness.‘ Parliament, whose powers | are supreme, continues to sit whanever Ithere is business to transact. the. sense. of national coâ€"operation reaches a prodigious degree." Each one is mobilized cither organically or‘ morâ€" ally. Each is doing his work with orâ€" derliness, calm and diszipline. . There is neither haste, nor precipitation, nor panic. Everyone applies rules strictly and encourages. everyone. elss â€"to do likewise. Vigilance never â€" relaxes. Britain is not invaded, but everyone behaves as though invasion might come at any moment. < This people will in no circumstances beâ€"taken by surprise. A sporting people, the British are counting the blows and taking stock impartially of their reverses and Iailâ€" ings, not to be disheartened by them, but â€"to correct them. Nothing is left to chance or to improvisation. Britain gives the impression cof a powerful upâ€"toâ€"date mataiine, whose flawless, wellâ€"oiled march proceeds noiselessly and without a hitch. Everyâ€" one knows what he has to do. And, he or she, will do it at the right time. German propaganda will not change this nor diminish in the least the calm and selfâ€"conscious force of this great free people. There is complete, trusting and eager coâ€"operation between the public: and the authorities. . These things are, to my mind, one of the essential guarantees of Britain‘s coming victory. The officially inspired optimism Cc{ the countries living under a system of j censorship lull the fighting spirit of , the citizens to sleep.

G. L. McNaughton ln the United Kingdom The British people are conscious of the fact that they have never beon invaded for the last 900 years. â€" They are not to the unsuccessful attempts made successively by Philip II, Louis XIV and by Napoleon. They know that 200 or 250 ships would be needed to larid. five divisions. . They know that they will never be betrayed by that ally which always keeps faith with them: the sea. They know that their ships are sailing the seven seas and using thousands of ports all the world over whereas the German "and TItaliin mercantile fleets are confined to coastal traffic in the Baltic and the Adriatic. They know that in defiance of the furious attacks of â€"the German Luiftâ€" waffe, the Royal Air Force is daily delivering its blows on Germany, on Turin, on Milan, on Libya, wherever it cares to strike. ‘They also know that the United States is on their side. They realize that those who were unable to prevent the â€"heroic reâ€"emâ€" barkation of Dunkirk are now faced with the incomparably more formidâ€" able task of attempting the same operâ€" ation in the opposite direction. -:Ih"es_'v know ifiat the whole Empire, without exception. constitutes one solid _ 3 _ 4. d oiA Nor do they forget that two thirds of the peoples subjected by Germany are not Germans at all, and that the terrible fire of vengzsance which is now smouldering in the hearts of the oppressed nations will burst into flame at the right moment. b F2 As a citizen of an indomitable naâ€" tion, I know that, in spits of profesâ€" sional traitors and placeâ€"seekers, the whole 9( Belgium constitutes a column in the service of democracy and liberâ€" ty.
