"You're picking winners well today- see if you can tell this whisky.'
“It's White Horse, of course-
I could tell it blindfold'
"
The rare and subtle character of White Horse sets it apart from any other whisky. You can tell it by its exquisite bouquet alone. But it is the perfect blending of fragrance with mell- owness and smoothness which makes White Horse Whisky the equal of a fine liqueur. The millions of gallons of finest Scotch whisky matured and maturing ensure that the quality of
White Horse never varies.

Dr. Goebbels is small and swarthy. has He is altogether cynical, and shocked, youthfully ardent National Socialists by his whispered mocking references to their creed. His intelli- gence is generally overrated; it is not exceptional, although he is no fool. His greatest gift is for personal in- vective-he will annihilate an ponent with the weapons, of sarcasm. mendacious caricature, and crudest denunciation. His speeches are too long, diffuse, and structureless to be good, but they often contain effective lapidary phrases that show a certain malignant humour as well as a sense of political strategy. His influence is no longer very great and he is inten- sely unpopular.
