What crlininal folly, what futile self-dreoption to imagine that this un- Christlike Christian priest, the man who has directed and encouraged murder, is capable of a genuine change of heart,

Again, in the words of Sir Hugh Foot, we must rid the island of Cyprus of haired and fear but how?

These are the lessons I belleve we can learn from the blood of our soldiers' wives:-

Duty

But to carry conviction that not even such outrages as this w deter us from our duty, we must ALWAYS renet together. We must refuse to be misled by the would-be apprasers, the philhellenes, and the doctrinaire ad- vocates of outworn political theories und the plous hopes of those who think that leopards do change their spots.

And what of the security forces in this matter -- those who face danger day by day and carry the burden? The young soldier and airman on patrol, the policeman on his beat? They must be assured of our fidence and support.

Equally there must be NO bungling weakness in this bringing of criminals to justice.

As much for the soldiers and policemen, who risk their lives to enforce the law, as for the general public, justice must bo seen to be done.

The World

WE MUST also refuse to mistend the rest of the world, which for better or for warse, is taking so pelive un interest in Cyprus.

It is imperative to make it clear that in our beller a lasting settlement of the Cyprus dispute can only be achieved with the support of Greect: and Turkey; that only in the context of the British Government's idea of part nership between British, Greek, and Turka, inside and outside the island, can real peace be found

A watch that is waterproof down to 660 feet

As any diver knows, you tend to lose all sense of time underwater. Yet accurate and reliable timing is essential For proper decompression when returning to the surface. Lucking this, many divers have endangered their lives and a number of them have been crippled by "the bends."

Rolex, who specialize in providing accurate time under any circumstances, have made a wonderful watch called the Submariner--especially for deep divers and all those engaged in sea-going activities. The Rolex Submariner has a special Oyster case unconditionally guaranteed to resist the fantastic pressure at 660 feet underwater.

Revolutionary Ume-recorder The Submariner has also a re volutionary ""Tiny-Recorder" rint round the dial, calibrated from zero to 60. By tuming this rim so that the zero mark points to the minute hand, before he starts, the diver can always read off the time elapsed. Even in the twilight pre- valling at 150 feet, or when diving at night, he can read it because the dial and all three hands are extra-luminou).

Evential for decomspremion The "Time-Recorder" rim solves the problem of exact timing of

decompression stages. Dy pre- setting the zero mark to the cor- rect number of minutes, the diver knows precisely when to continue upwards to the surface,

For everyday wear too

These revolutionary advantages are additional to the other ro- markable qualities of the Sub- mariner, its marvellous accuracy, its Perpetual "rotor" self-winding * mechanism, and the perfect pro- lection given by Its specia! Oyster can make the Submariner the Ideal watch foreveryday wear.
