Victory Year Hence Seen

Mr Lees-Smith, Leader of the Opposition, forecast in a broad- cast recently that the end of the war will be in sight about a year hence.

The future of Europe now hung on British staying power; he said, Hitler had a time limit within which he must conquer this country or perish. That time limit was set by two factors-the arrival of equip- inent from the United States and the strangulation of Germany's resources for war by the blockade.

*Equipment from the United States," said Mr Lees-Smith, "has hitherto been a trickle. It will soon become a flow and I will Anally become a flood, within the first half of next year."
