The Good Work Continues
Now that the attention of the world is being directed towards the dally and almost continuous air ralds by German planes on Britain, the nightly cuids by the R.AF, over Germany and Germán occupled ter- ritories are perhaps in danger of being overlooked.
The Immense value of these raids carried out persistently and regularly is a very vital factor in the ultimate victory of Great Britain, and Ger-
many knowing this, is desperately endeavouring by false figures and exaggerated statements to hide. from her people and from the world gen- erally what is happening.

American públic opinion—thef final limiting check on both American foreign and domestic policy-is moving rapidly. How it moves depends on events in Europe, on what is done atid said by the leaders and peoples of the countries at war.

That the damage done by the R.A.F. is extremely serious is shown by the fact that, according to neutral observers, the bigger Industrial works in the Ruhr are to be moved pleet- meal to safer places In or Czecho-Slovákia. This step, which 'must' inevitably dislocate the output for many weeks, would naturally not be undertaken at a time like this if necessity did not call for it. The port of Hamburg has been described by neutral observers as "devasted"; oil' plants at Hanover have been set on fire us well as numerous military and industrial centres in other parts destroyed or badly damaged.
