SPAIN GETS NEW CALL TO PAIR OF EYES IRELAND
THE AMERICAN GIFT of destroyers to Britain has had a big moral effect in Madrid and has shown clearly that the United States is determined to help Britain win the war.
The pro-German newspaper "ABC" had hither- to been showing some uneasiness regarding the United States attitude and Spaniards had been taught through German messages that American help would not arrive quickly enough to save Bri- tain from Germany's lightning war, but they now see that substantial aid is already at hand before Germany has achieved anything.

Although Spanish dents in Berlin deduce from Hit- ler's latest speech that Germany will attempt
an invasion most people in Madrid have made up their minds for a long war and they no longer feel certain of the outcome.

ADEQUATELY PROTECTED or GREAT WAS BY THE JOINT ACTION BRITAIN, NORTH.
