US SPONTANEOUS TRIBUTE TO IMPERIAL AIRWAYS APPEARED IN. - 'NEWS WEEK A WELL-KNOWN AMERICAN NEWSPAPER
'Since its organisation twelve years ago, Britain's Imperial Airways.... has been one of the world's greatest air transport systems It was one of the first air lines in the world to show a profit... Its flying and mechanical staffs have been consistently excellent. ... The Air Ministry has decided that the Empire needed a strengthened air transport service.... Thus Imperial Airways' re-equipment programme has not only been started but pushed forward with. the utmost dispatch.... Back of all this astound. ing energy lies a new British air transport policy that causes transport experts of other countries a lot more concern than the explosion of the 'slow-old-Imperial tradition ... All first-class mail addressed from one part of the British Empire to the other will be carried without" surcharge What such a British policy. means to the rest of the world's air linas remains to be seen, but most observers expect wide. spread repercussions. . In any case the sleeping lion now aroused is showing no lack of speed in getting under way'

Kalzana is a remark- able food containing no drugs whatsoever.
In hot countries one's diet and the extent to which one perspires tend to decrease the mineral contents of the body. Many complaints such as irritability, high blood pressure, dizziness, acidity, which are so often ascribed to the climate are due largely to this loss of minerals.

The statement reads: The German Reich-in contra- distinction to other nations and peoples has neither in the past nor now had any disputes with the Spanish people based on any kind, or territorial or other special political German designs.
Germany therefore-likewise in contradistinction to other states- nas, never partleipated in any of the historic conquests on Spanish soil. That holds good, also for the present, when the German people follows with sympathy the afflic~ tion of the Spanish people.

It is of decisive significance that National Socialist Germany has neither desired nor attempted to tum Spain Into a Province of the German Reich, nor a regional sec- tion of the National Socialist Party, whereas Moscow here, as every- where, endeavours to convert Spain into a section of the Comintern.
To prevent this however, lies Just as much in the interests of Europe-Indeed the whole world- as it does in the interests of. Ger- : many!

In other words, the control com- mission, despite all declarations to the contrary, casts doubt on the statements made by one of its members by requiring an investi- gation into their correctness, and thus from the outset allows the Red aggressors to hold their own.
