Gallons maturing-

Older and better than ever

Never was your White Horse as good or as old as it is to-day. Years ago, exceptionally heavy stocks of the finest whiskies were laid down to anticipate sales which the quality would justify. These stocks are now fully matured. The result is that WHITE HORSE is now older and bester than ever before, excellent as it was in 1932 and preceding years.

This advance in quality and age will be maintained. White Horse is now the equivalent of a fine liqueur.

CHEAPER BRITISH NE Propaganda Debate In House Of Commons

London, To-day.

Attention was drawn in the House of Commons yesterday to the supply of British news abroad by Mr. J. Less-Jones (Conservativo, Blackley), who moved a resolution urging the Govern- ment to give the full weight of moral and fin- ancial support to schemes to further wider and more effective presentation of British news, views and culture abroad.

The mover argued that world conditions had changed owing to replacement of democratic government by dictatorships, creation of min- istries of propaganda, and subsidised and con- trolled news services, which entirely suppress British views or pervert its meaning to give en- tirely erroneous views of Britons.
