SIGNIFICANCE OF ANOTHER HAVANA ACCORD
(SPECIAL TO "CHINA MAIL")
THE "CONSIDERABLE importance" and in- fluence of the Havana Pan-American Conference formed the subject of a long editorial in "Le Temps." "The session at Havana had considerable im- portance," the editorial asserted, "not only because the debates were carried on in the light of the pre- sent upheavals in Europe, but because, for the first time, they abutted in the solemn affirmation of the Solidarity of all the peoples of America in the face of world problems.

Behind the Bulwark Of Britain: The Battle With Hitler.
SPEAKING AT A PUBLIC luncheon in EACH MAN London yesterday, the First Lord of the Ad- miralty said that "by sheer weight of the vast TO DIG war machine which they have created, the Germans have overrun a large area of Europe EXTRA TON
and overthrown, for the time being, the great bastion of freedom on the Continent which the French people have maintained for over a century.
Men of the Dearne Valley Col- Yorkshire, liery, near Barnsley, worked voluntarily through Saturday afternoon and Sunday:
-the first week-end work in its fifty years history.
This country, as the outpost of the British Commonwealth, and aided by Allied con- tingents which escaped the successive strokes of the Nazi scythe, now constitutes the only organized bulwark against the creation of a European Police State which is Germany's im mediate aim, with the threat which that would a involve to other nations oversea.
Only behind this bulwark can the forces be mobilised and organised which will later remove the monstrous threat to liberty which confronts the world.
