Signing Of Atlantic Pact

Possibly To Take Place In Washington On April 4 MUTUAL AID CLAUSE

London, March 12.

The signature of the Atlantic Pact, barring accidents, now appears set for Washingto n on April 4. The premature disclosure of the broad outlines of the text adds little to the general anticipation of what the authors of the Atlantic Union have had in mind. during the seven-power discussions in Washington.

The text takes care to stress the defensive nature of the act, to acknowledge the ultimate authority of the Security Council of the United Nations, and to affirm that it is a regional association of the sort foreseen by the original charter of the United Nations Organisation.

Communists Protest Italy's Entry Into Atlantic Alliance

Rome, March 12.

Italy's Communist party today swiftly mobilised its propaganda and strike weapons in a desperate effort to block the government's participation in the North Atlantic security pact. Strikes and demonstrations were ordered as Premier Alcide de Gasperi called a Sunday session of the Parliament to speed up the debate and rush a vote on. Italian participation in the pact be- fore the Reds could organise their opposition.

I can remember the time-not so long ago, either — when 'an overseas assignment for my firm usually meant staying overseas until the job was finished. My leaves were too short for a holiday at home, so I was confined to 'local' holidays..

That's all changed now, though. When my leave comes due I pack a bag and fly straight home by Speedbird. 150,000 miles of B.O.A.C. air routes means that 'home is usually only a matter of hours away, or a day or two at the most, instead of weeks. I spend roughly an extra six days at home out of every seven when I fly by Speedbird.

+

Yes, I repeat —a flying visit-Is a longer visit, especially when time is short! What's more, I'm not travel-worn when 1 get home; I arrive rested and relaxed — and can really enjoy my holiday, As for the actual flight, it's a dream of speed and comfort. The fine meals, the courteous attention everything reflects credit on B.Q.A.C.'s 30-year- old tradition of Speedbird service and experience.
