Similar welcome is given to his, which have been uttered by Mr. assertion that Germany must be Churchill and Mr. Eden in recent defeated if America are to con- tinue to enjoy the rights they now enjoy although there regret in some American quarters that be did not speak in plainer termis with regard to what that is likely pleasure and to involve.
The speech is regarded as cal culated to prepare Americans for giving up many things they now have in order that production of war materials may increase.
American determination to celerate to the olmost production of war materials is especially wel comed. Moreover, it is noted with

"Herr Utter is public enemy number one but complacently he is public enemy number two," 'reniarked MR. BRENDAN BRACKEN, Minister of Information, in reviewing the situation after two years of war in London yesterday, according to Reuter Bulletin.
