The papers. which are now arriving. from Home are full of interesting and significant Mdellgntson happenings in Europe, most. of hich "agree withthe Sudgment Which has already been arrived atin this part of the world {hot nothing the Naat promises or alme at can be relied upon There's no trick too, low for the Nasis to stoop to play. For example it was learned shortly after the British Minister to Rumania was" forced. to. withdraw, that. the Nazis" under the use of giving him a special train in which to make ini departure, had given him a very special one indeed, This train had een nifed up with merophones and. recorders, which meant that all the conversation between the Beltsh diplomats on the train was put on Fecord for the Nazis go through at leisure i's fortunate for. the British tnasion con ferned, that they woke vp to ths fact early in the journey.

They have invariably inflicted such fogres upon the enemy that the Tater have hed to'veitnhold the maximum action of which they might otherwise Nave been capable, The results these various selions; though they have UP the present been unfavouraste to the British arms, have legitimately led to the question what would happen when the British and the Ger-rans meet on equal terms.

With the assistance of America, the time will not be far distant when this equality or superiority will be_at-{ained. That 1s the moment to which the Ger. mans can look forward. It has been shown that they can do no more than dent the British front when they are greatly superior, What will they be able to do when the British front is as strong, if not stronger, than their own?
