SIGNIFICANCE OF

forces in the United States is a stroke whose
significance has been universally appreciat- BLACK-OUT
ed and whose boldness has been warmly wel- comed in this country, declares "The Times" in an editorial.
The defence of the main Atlantic routes, adds "The Times," is not purely a matter of Anglo-American concern. It is of vital inter- est to every country which possesses an Atlantic seaboard or whose ships sail the
ocean.
"Should the other arm of what President Roosevelt calls the 'Ger- man pincers movement against
the western hemisphere' become menacing. and should the esta- bishment of further American bases be desirable in order Lo avert it, Great Britain wil eer-
tainly be prepared to cooperate once again as she has done in the past and as lee'and has now done in the north," "The Times" add- ed.
"That American armed forces
are now miles of
stationed within 500
the British 18les is a measure of the colossal progress
roalised In less than two years from the outbreak of war.'
"The Times" continues: "This new instrument and symbol of American aid to Britain is an out- standing contribution to winning the war and it is also a
fresh land-mark of American policy."
ANGELS IN UNIFORM
Many famous British artists have contributed to a display of textile designs, notable for their originality, which are expected to help the export trade.
Anna Zinkeisen has portrayed enchanting young women in uni- form and called the design "An- gels in Uniform." It should appeal to young women in America who are unable to wear uniforms.

"What is most important about | Iceland is that it is not merely a base. for the defence of Iceland itself but bases for patrolling the şen lanes,"
Leonard Engel, in a New York newspaper, writes: "Iceland can also serve as an offensive base for the Americans now there as well as a defensive point.
