Meanwhile, Britain today launched
a mighty propaganda campaign to

change by which united effort has
transformed 5000 miles of ocean
from an abyss dividing us into a
means and bond of union-an end

The Times-"When Mr.. Churchill
last crossed the Atlantic Gin 193D
the world was on the eve of that
economic blizzard from which
emerged not only Hitler but the New
Deal devised by Mr.. Roosevelt for
his own country. This new crossing
in the midst of military blizzard
may we'll accelerate elimination of
Hitler and his imitators and a new
deal for the world. ="
News s-Chronicle-"The significance
of duality will not be lost upon the
world-Allied, neutral or enemy.
In nGermany the memory of 1918 will
be revived and fear of Anglo Amer
ican invincibility will add its dark
shadow to the thrusting wings OF
the r. A. r. over the land of the
Third Reich"
