The Good Work Continues
Now that the attention of the world is being directed towards the dally and almos! contimus ir raids by German planes on Britain, the nightly raids by the R.A.F. over Germany and German occupied ter ritories are perhaps in danger of being overlooked.
American public opinion-the 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 and said by the leaders and peoples of the countries at war.

Germany's efforts to disguise the truth from her people by minimising her losses and exaggerating those of Great Britain are undertaken, not only to stiffon the, morale of their own population, but to restrain any attempt on the part of the occupied territories to free themselves from an unbearable yoke.

THE President and his State -Department may make the foreign polley of the United States. But the Senate, representing the people of the United States, decides whether or not he may carry it cut. Public opinion, as expressed through the Senatora, is the final arblier. How and why that is so is. for us, perlingy, the most important and valuable instruction the authors of "American White Paper" have given.
