Finally there is the food problem. Hitler
is now the master of the continent of Eu-
rope, a continent which is faced with
starvation if the British blocade is not
one of the strong points of the Nazi faith
— Hitler and his friends have been at
great pains to assure of this on several
occasions, nevertheless it is doubtful
whether they will be willing to face an-
other winter of blocade.
Even if he were able to loot enough
supplies for his army and home popula-
tion the prospect of a hundred million in-

leave for Canada. They were with
their subjects in the East End of
London, in the district which had
borne the brunt of the previous
day’s raids, IN THE FRONT LINE
OF THE BATTLE OF BRITAIN.
King George of Britain does not
make idle boasts about being “the
first soldier of his country” but by
deeds not words provides a shin-
ing example of courage and forti-
tude, an example which will be an
inspiration to millions of his sub-
jects.
