into a new channel
The new enemy is the United

is to be trade war, waEed for the
capture OF the worlds trade.
Even in the midst of war Il IS on
record that Britain deliberately held
back certain resources in men and
money because it was held that these

were taken TO mobilize the resources
OF the British nation for the new

ness methods have been studied and
students trained In countering the
methods Of energetic American sales
