"You're picking winners well today- see if you can tell this whisky”
“It's White Horse, of couṛso-- 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.

WAR IN STAGE OF TRANSITION: PERIL OF COMPLACENCY
THAT THE WAR AT PRESENT IS IN A TRANSITIONAL STAGE BUT THAT IT IS HARD TO STOP CHEERFULNESS. BREAKING IN .. THE POSSIBILITY OF INVASION STILL REMAINS, BUT THE OUTLOOK IS BETTER, IS THE VIEW TAKEN BY THE BRI- TISH PRESS GENERALLY IN LEADING ARTI- CLES COMMENTING ON THE COMMONS STATEMENTS BY MR. ATTLEE AND MR.
EDEN.
One feature of Mr. Attlee's speech, says "The Times," was the contrast between the peril of the British situation a year ago and the promise of the situation to-day, signifi- cant point being the growth in material and moral support from the United States, to all who are fighting for freedom.
"But," says "The Times," "there Russia's Exertions must be no change in the balance

That the enemy is not yet weakening and retains immense strength is the view of the "Man- chester Guardian," which says: "Cheerfulness may break in now but it is Russia's exertions that caused it.
"For it would be extremely foolish to think that a machine so forged, so furbished and So fed for so many years by a fierce philosophy will be easily broken, and it would be still more foolish to act upon such a thought."
Change In Balance Referring to Mr. Eden's warn- ing to Japan to keep her hands off Thailand and the request to the Iran Government to deal firm- ly with Axis tourists, "The Times" adds that these" facts and this language fully justified Mr. Lees-Smith's Commons conclusion that there has been "a change in the balance of the war."
