British foreign policy will remain the same notwithstanding the Creek crisis and similar flare-ups in Belgium. Italv and Holland a nil rhni. r repercussions in London. Kight or wrong, Churchill has the faculty and the power of getting things done. His dynamic force has done much to bring Britain and the Allies so far and so well in the war. Evidently, the British people have no intention of "dismissing" Churchill as Jong as the war is on. Of course, wJiat will happen after that remains to hn kppti Rnf ;that is another story. . .

We may well expect that there will be many problems and situations to be faced. There may be events which we do not understand at the time. Actions may be taken for which we cannot see the point. The more cautious will wish to wait and see before expressing opinions even on actions which may seem at the time to be inexplicable and even unreasonable. For instance, it is safe to assume that, behind the events which are now takiiwr nlace in snnli countries as Greece, Italy and Belgium, there is" more than meets the eye and ear. We can but accept the word of those who should be in a position to know and one of these is Premier King who-says the situation is serious. Air Arm Takes Over . . . While the ground advance has slowed its tempo for the moment all along the Western Front, it is worth while watching what the Allies are doing behind the German linos. The nffpnjivn is still driving forward by air, striking! at German. sources of supply and lines' ui communications. Increasingly stiff, tenacious German resistance behind defences in depth reinforced by reserves drained from somewhere; rain, sleet, and mud, and the ever-recurring problem of an attacking army to accumulate supplies for a fresh advance all have combined to hold back the Allied drive on the ground. This is just the time and situation when the ability to reach over the enemy's lines and strike at his supporting areas can mean the most. And that is what the Allied command is doing. Bombers are so damaging railways and canals serving Germany that transport may be blocked for weeks or even months. Blockbusters are hitting industrial targets. And as a profitable by-product of these operations the Allied air forces are destroying enemy planes . Thjs ability to weaken the German rear when the frontal advance is slowed down Or halted is an asset which the Ajlies possess and the enemy has lost, except for the aimless rlesf the rocket weapons. It is an advance which may not show immediate effects but contributes enormously to the ultimate decision. "Hey OS THE DAILY NEWS THIS AND THAT -fci'TlV S - TK Cmiffe MititW A4bm SerW W V - - .
