GENERAL

BRITAIN'S WAR AIM IS. VICTORY, THEN LASTING PEACE

In this article "Mr. Wickham Steed. Famous British political writer and former Editor of The Times of London, surveys the first year of war. He recalls the many disasters to the Allied cause, the overrunning of Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium and the collapse of France. He declares that the cataract "might well convince the neutral world that the cause of tree- dom in Europe was lost”

How wrong such a forecast, was Mr. Steed clearly proves. He describes the defeat of the U-boat campaign, the conquer- ing of the magnetic mine, the end of the "Graf Spee" and the crippling of the German Fleet. The brilliant feats of the Bri-, tish Air Force lend him to conclude that the first phase of the "Battle of Britain" has been a resounding defeat for Hitler,

At the end of the first year of war he sees Britain growing from strength to strength, with the active aid of the Empire and the moral and, material support of the United States."

Nothing better was ever discovered for women than "Dettol,' the modern antiseptic. This highly efficient killer of germs will not stain linen, and is clean and clear, pleasant in smell and an excellent deodorant. 'Dettol' is non-poisonous, and is gentle and tender on human tissues.
