"It's White Horse, of course—

I could tell it blindfold'

"

The rare and subtle character of White Horse sets it apart from any other whisky. You can tell it by its exquisite bouquet alone. But it is the perfect blending of fragrance with mell- owness and smoothness which makes White Horse Whisky the equal of a fine liqueur. The millions of gallons of finest Scotch whisky matured and maturing ensure that the quality of White Horse never vuries.

BRITAIN'S NEED OF AN ECONOMIC GENERAL STAFF

London, To-day.

BOTH THE "MANCHESTER Guardian" and the "News Chronicle" are concerned over the too complacent conduct of the economic war. In Germany, this question has naturally received the most careful attention and in some quarters in Britain amusement and satisfaction has been aroused at the state to which the Germans are reduced.

An eminent authority, however, suggests that the Germans are actual- ly consuming less than they are producing.

The "Manchester Guardian"

gays that against such an enemy we, too, must show we that are capable of great sucrifices. The ruler of Germany is master of vast resources. All the energies of his nation have been bent to one task, that of creating military strength.

The youth of Germany has been trained as never youth has been trained since the days of Sparta. Many in Britain do not realise that If we are to defeat Hitler we must be prepared for revolutionary changes and large sacrifices, says the "Manchester Guardian."

ECONOMIC GENERAL STAFF

The "News Chronicle" discusses the little attention paid by the responsible Ministers to the question of conserv- ing and using our resources. Goering, the new Nazi dictator, is now equipped with an Economic General Staff. Britain needs more readiness for trying out inno- vations, and a readiness for change and sacrifice. án economic general

BANK OF ENGLAND RATES

LONDON, TO-DAY.

YESTERDAY'S ALTERATIONS IN THE BANK OF ENGLAND'S OFFI- CIAL EXCHANGE RATES ARE VIEWED BY BANKING CIRCLES AS A PROBABLE RESULT OF PRES- SURE BY COMMERCIAL INSTITU- TIONS.

Authoritative quarters stress the decision to reduce the spread is in no way connected with yesterday's new regulations regarding the trans- fer of Sterling from resident to non- resident accounts.

The new rates merely represent a return to greater normalcy in quota- tions such as prevailed prior to sup- ersession of the free market by the official quotations.-Reuter.

JEWISH REFUGEES ARRESTED

Haifa, To-day.

Over 500 Jewish refugees from Germany and other countries were arrested on Sunday within Palestine territorial waters.

A schooner with 360 refugees on board was towing another sailing vessel with 160 on board. -Reuter.

COVERED WAGGON IN GERMANY

Berlin, To-day.

The official Nazi news agency an nounces that 40,000 repatriated Ger- mans from former eastern Poland have arrived at Lodz, where they are accommodated in camps.

The first contingent of Germans from former north and central Poland, many of whom made the Journey in horse-drawn vehicles, have also ar- rived at Lodz. Reuter.

FAR EAST

SHARES STRONGER

London, To-day, The Stock Exchange was initially hesitant yesterday owing to the recent upward political reshuffle, but the movement was quickly resumed un- der the lead of gilt-edged securities, which closed higher on a further in- flux of buying orders.

Indian Government bonds encoun- tered demand, while Far Eastern issues were notably stronger.

Wall Street was steady.
