Britain has no plans for calling

Belgium has been called into

in line with the policy adopted

Convinced that it would be

 Bob smiled in acknowl- Judgement but his interest was centered on the armful of mail. There were nearly |20 magazines; two or three, concerning archaeology and prehistoric people, the post master had never heard of before.
