'How's that

"Excellent! It's White Horse-

I could tell it blindfold.”

No other whisky combines so rare a fragrance with such mellow smoothness; no other is quite so soft, so round, so genial. Perfect blending and slow maturing have made 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 varies.

ALLEGED GANG OF

Belief is growing that if the invasion is, in fact, attempted, it will not be an isolated ad- venture.

In the phase of greater violence which, in the view of Mr. Chur- chill, the war is entering, there is no longer any serious attempt on the part of Germany to disguise the for the fact that preparations movement of German troops into Balkans is con- or through the templated.

that necessary, and the significance of Mr. Churchill's statement Bulgaria's airfields are being oc- cupied by German ground person- nel, needs no emphasis.

Contemporaneously with these developments, German efforts to make use of Japan to aid the Nazi plans are being persistently press. ed, regardless of the fact that her Far Eastern Axis partner ac- cedes to the pressure it will spell ruin for Japan.

Japan's Truculence

There is abundant evidence that in the diplomatic these efforts field are directed towards urging a friendlier relationship between Russia and Japan as the prelimin- south- ary to a Japanese deve ward.

Although in London it is well known that the more sober ele- ments in Japan are deeply dis- turbed at the prospects, the tru- culence of the attitude of certain the United towards Ministers States and Britain has, at times since the signing of the tripartite a reckless- agreement, displayed ness which suggest that the full dangers of the situation are not fully appreciated in Tokyo.

It is a situation which is being carefully watched in London,
