One feature of Mr. Attlee's speech, says "The Times," was the contrast between the peril of the British situation a year ago and the promise of the situation to-day, signifi- cant point being the growth in material and moral support from the United States, to all who are fighting for freedom.

"The idea that the first sub- stantial check to the German armies necessarily heralds the early collapse of thore armies and of the Naz) regime, may] be proof of our admirable ro-

There were still-defences to face, the anti-aircraft bartage and many night fighters, but the crews pressed home the attack in spite of them and the weather. There were many combats with enemy fighters.

That the enemy is not yet weakening and retains immense strength is the view of the "Man chester Guardian," which says: { driven "Cheerfulness may break in now
