BEHIND THE HEADLINES by JOHN BLUNT
SO we are travelling the road alone! The one friend in whom we trusted has fallen by the wayside.
We set out together knowing full well that the road would be hard. We can understand France's ordeal. It would have been better if we could have sympathised with her in her anguish, but, for some reason which we cannot at present fathom, she has denied her friendship with us, and because of this, we have found it necessary to protect our- selves against her fusion with the enemy. Her great fleet which we relied upon to assist us, just as our fleet has assisted her, became a grave menwer to our survival, and have rightly removed Utat

The glorious history of France has been jettisoned, and we are no longer able to think in terms of a supposedly Inviolabic Entente Cor- diale. Even at this stage, we feel a desire to withhold judgment, for we cannot believe that France has forsaken us of her own free-will. We do feel justilled. however, in condemning her commanders who were not under the immediate domination of the Nazis-und yet,

The German problem has become so vast that it will surely prove to be her undoing. To keep the greater part of Europe in subjection during the coming winter is stupendous a task that its fallure may reasonably and logically be contemplated with satisfaction. In the meantime, the whole Empire is working day and night to that day when the Nazi curse will be removed, and in this great crusade, it is good to know that the growing might of the United States will Assuredly be placed in the scale on the side of the crusaders. The freedom, prosperity and happiness of the greut English-speaking people depends upon a successful and triumphant issue. In ourselves we trust, and we shall not trust in Vain,

THE knowledge that we have to travel the road alone merely hardens our resolve to continue on to our destination.

It must, of course, be assumed that the evacuation was considèred to be absolutely necessary, for the compulsory breaking-up of homes โป light matter. Apart from the unhappiness, there is the question, of the financial burden imposed, which to many people, has created and almost insurmountable prob lem.

IN the meantime, Hongkong carries on calmly and efficient- ly.
Japanese circles may have been surprised that our women and children should be sent away, but eircumstances generally justined such a step. It is to be profoundly regretted that Anglo-Japanese rela- tions should have become strained, but the fault is certainly not ours. Common-sense may yet prevail, for the future of the Japanese people depends
upon the survival of democratic principles, just as our future does. The brutal doctrine of Nazlism can only last for a brief term, and until that term hos
