SIGNIFICANCE OF

forces in the United States is a stroke whose

significance has been universally appreciat- BLACK-OUT

ed and whose boldness has been warmly wel- comed in this country, declares "The Times" in an editorial.

The defence of the main Atlantic routes, adds "The Times," is not purely a matter of Anglo-American concern. It is of vital inter- est to every country which possesses an Atlantic seaboard or whose ships sail the

ocean.

"Should the other arm of what President Roosevelt calls the 'Ger- man pincers movement against

the western hemisphere' become menacing. and should the esta- bishment of further American bases be desirable in order Lo avert it, Great Britain wil eer-

tainly be prepared to cooperate once again as she has done in the past and as lee'and has now done in the north," "The Times" add- ed.

"That American armed forces

are now miles of

stationed within 500

the British 18les is a measure of the colossal progress

roalised In less than two years from the outbreak of war.'

"The Times" continues: "This new instrument and symbol of American aid to Britain is an out- standing contribution to winning the war and it is also a

fresh land-mark of American policy."

ANGELS IN UNIFORM

Many famous British artists have contributed to a display of textile designs, notable for their originality, which are expected to help the export trade.

Anna Zinkeisen has portrayed enchanting young women in uni- form and called the design "An- gels in Uniform." It should appeal to young women in America who are unable to wear uniforms.

The boss the United States 's now establishing in Iceland should not he merely for passive defence, the "New York Times" : writes.

"What is most important about | Iceland is that it is not merely a base. for the defence of Iceland itself but bases for patrolling the şen lanes,"

Leonard Engel, in a New York newspaper, writes: "Iceland can also serve as an offensive base for the Americans now there as well as a defensive point.
