DEWAR'S

Whatever the standpoint from which you regard Dewar's fine old 'White Label' Whisky, its superiority is evident. There is the refined flavour-there is the maturity due to great age-and there is the high quality upon which the world's expert opinion is unanimous.

He did not even hesitate to call for a Socialist leader and make him Premier. Ho upheld the Republic at overy turn, and fought to regain peace and prosperity for his beloved Father- land.

The result, of course, has been a marked revulsion of feeling. The Monarchists have long since, loat their love for Hindenburg, but the Republicans have come to idoline him. So this voteran patriot, who has bad discipline and duty as his twin guiding stars, has been tremendous factor in saving the Republic. His greatest victory came long after the Great War had ended. To-day, his stock ntlil stands high. Neither the extreme nationalism of the Nazis nor the

disruptive ideals of Communism have been able to oust him from power. Under his guidance, Gor- many, with difficult days ahead, will yet again emerge and resume her rightful place amongst the nations of the world. No man has shouldered heavier responsibilities than Hindenburg: nono has had thornler paths to tread. But in lie steadfastness of purpose he has reflected the temper and the faith of the German people.
