those countries, a days in Egypt, I had opportunities 
of talking to many people, British and non-British, official and non-official, and of learning a good deal about present conditions. There is nothing venturesome in these days in travelling by land across Prance and over the Mediterranean by boat; the journey 
takes a little longer than in ordinary times, but only a little, and there are no special difficulties. The whole region of the 
far is not
Mediterranean so quite peaceful, since Italy has come into the War. Indeed the counfeirs i visited are more at now
peace in war-time than they have been in peace-time; their local 
controversies have qdietened down. Throughout that part of the

Every section, therefore, anything that would 
hinder the war effort of Britain and Prance. Grievances are 
postponed for the time being; no one wishes to raise frictiom or 
give rise to questions likely to cause disturbances. 
The chief thing that one hears about the war relates to the 
large armies that are being assembled in the Middle East by the Allies. Distributed in great camps, from the western frontier Of 
a

Egypt to the borders of Turkey, powerful strategic reserve is being created to meet any eventualities that might Besides
occur. 

troops from Great Britain and Prance, the Australians and New Zealanders have come, and are coming, in great strength; also large numbers of men from the local forces of the French Empire. 
There are now excellent roads through those countries well suited 
for the transport of mechanised armies. I travelled along the 
latest link in that road system when I returned from Palestine to Egypt. It is a drive of two hundred and seventy five miles from 
Jerusalem to Ismailia on the Suez Canal. Leaving at eight in the morning, I arrived at four in the afternoon, with an hour9 s rest on 
the way. Prom Beersheba on, two hundred miles, was sheer desert.

But the people were pleased that the small Cyprus Pioneer Force, that had so far been raised, was the first of any of the colonial 
contingents of the British Empire to reach the front in France® 
In Palestine, of course, the political situation had been far more difficult than in Cyprus, You will recall that a year 
or so ago the whole country was gravely disturbed. There were 
bomb outrages, assassinations, train v/reckings; transport was almost stopped; Government administration could not function at all in most of the country districts; the disturbances grew to 
the dimensions of a rebellion* Now everything is completely changed. There have been no serious outrages for a long time® One

Moslem countries to stop violence* The mass of the Arab population of Palestine welcomed the opportunity to throw off the extremists and to get b*ack to tranquillity. The outbreak

BOAND OF TRAPS ANNOUNCEMENT. 
STEEL SUPPLIES FOR EXPORT OP MANUFACTURED GOODS. 
As from the Ist April, under the new scheme for the 
distribution of steel supplies, the Board of Trade will be responsible in consultation with the Iren and Steel Control for the allocation of steel required for the manufacture of 
goods for export. The issue of steel will be greatly 
facilitated and delay will be avoided where an export group 
is established for a particular trade, and satisfactory with the Board of Trade for the
arrangements have been made administration by the group itself of a global allocation of material in substitution for the present system of 
individual applications for licences to-the Iron and Steel 
Control, While it is recognised that the April-June quarter must be regarded as a transitional period for the purpose 
the Board of Trade consider it
of operating the new scheme, 
necessary to warn manufacturers that it is their intention that after the end of June the steel allocation for the 
export of manufactured goods should, in the national interest, be 
distributed through Export Groups, and that they will find it progressively more difficult to justify release of material to firms not so organised. It is therefore very important that manufacturers should join such Groups as soon as possible and that the Groups should have allocations arranged with the Board of Trade well before that date. 
For the period April-June, licences for steel required for the manufacture of goods for export which are not 
yet covered by special arrangements with organised groups will continue to be issued by the Iron and Steel Control to whom applications should be submitted direct, but as soon 
as a group is ready with its total requirements contact will at once be made with the Board of Trade even within the period 
April-June.

MR. SAVAGE:: PRIME MINISTER’S MESSAGE 
The following message has been sent from the Prime Minister to-day to Mr* Fraser, Deputy Prime of New Zealand*
Minister 
I have
"My colleagues and learnt with profound 
regret of the death of Mr. Savage. Please convey our deep sympathy to the Government and people of New Zealand 
• 
In Mr* Savage New Zealand has lost a leader whose selfless devotion to the cause of progress was an inspiration and an example* We, in this country, had unhappily, little opportunity of knowing personally one whose life was spent9 
in a distant Dominion, hut those of us who met him when ho visited England in 1937 recognized in him a statesman of wise counsel whose sincerity could never be doubted. In the difficult times through which the world has since been 
knew heart and principles for which the British Commonwealth stands.* His death will be mourned not only in New Zealand but throughout the Empire. I' 
passing we Mr. Savage had always at the ideals

TEA SUPPLIES 
The Ministry of Pood has now completed arrangements for the import of sufficient tea into this country during the next twelve months, not only for home consumption, but also for a re-export trade of normal dimensions® The importation 
of tea by private concerns has therefore now been prohibited, 
is but
except under licence, which sparingly granted. 
Government supplies will "be drawn only from the 
Empire. This does not mean that all Empire supplies have been purchased by the Ministry, for in making its contracts, 
full consideration has been given to the necessity for maintaining the export trade from the countries of origin, and ample tea 
will be available for that purpose® 
Purchases have been restricted to Empire countries not merely in order to maintain trade with India and the Colonies but also because the lower grade teas from China and Java have to be 
paid for in foreign currency* Although these teas enable low-priced blends to be sold, they are not economical in the pot and 
occupy relatively more shipping space* 
Contracts made with producers in the various Empire countries cover the teas produced between the Ist January and 
the
31st December, 1940* The price is based on average 
realised in the years ln addition to this price, the 
of
Ministry is making a contribution towards the extra cost 
production arising from war conditionso This has been agreed with the producers, and varies in accordance with local conditions 
from 4fe;o 8% on the contract price* 
and
Thus, although transport charges insurance make 
the handling of tea considerably more expensive than in peace 
time, and although the circumstances of war demand the husbanding 
of the have
supplies and elimination of waste, consumers may reasonable assurance of securing tea of good quality and at competitive prices*

DENMARK: ALLIES’ SEA WARFARE METHODS PRAISED. 
in contrast to
Praise for the Allies' methods of carrying on sea v/arfare, the Nazi actions at sea, is contained in a dispatch to today's NATIOR4LTIDENDE sent by this paper's Paris correspondent. 
The message states: "It goes without saying that neither English nor French ships will demean themselves by torpedoing neutral ships v/ithout warning, nor would they even sink German vessels v/ithout doing everything possible to 
rescue the crev/. 
"In Paris it is found, a little incomprehensible that countries who seem to 
accept almost Y/ithout protest the sinking of their ships and the murder of their seamen by one belligerent should at the same time react violently against more or less doubtful breaches of their territorial wraters by another belligerent. 
This attitude among neutral states is especially harmful v/hen it is shown by just those neutral states for whose ideals and existence France has gone to war", 
SWEDEN: BLITZKRIEG'S FADE-OUT. 
The failure of the German Fuehrer’s 'blitzkrieg' is commented upon in sarcastic language 
in today's DAGENS NYHETER, the Liberal newspaper. 
After pointing out that the expected military offensive in I larch dwindled into German appeals for peace through loud speakers on the \7estern Front, this journal adds: "Hitler has often referred to the great differences between his army and the Kaiser’s, and. between him and Bethmann-Hollweg. The difference 
in their achievements is also striking. Five weeks after the outbreak of war Bethmann-Hollweg’s ’riff-raff* stood at the gates of Paris, while the German ironsides in the seventh month of this war are bombarding the enemy 
with peace appeals from hoardings, loud speakers, and. v/ith leaflets. Even enemy shipping has been left alone and instead eight neutral vessels have been sunk during the last week. ” 
Support for the policy of strengthening Sweden’s defences is contained, in STOCKHOLM,! TIDNINGEN. 
This paper considers that whether or not a Scandinavian defensive alliance 
with a view to 
is concluded Sweden’s defensive preparations should.be pushed, on 
defending Finland against another Russian attack. 
The paper adds: "It is a Swedish interest that her eastern frontier should, he defended, in Finland and. not at the Torne River. Russian air bases 
in Finland constitute a direct threat to Sweden and Sweden must strive to maintain an independent Finland between her and the Soviet. By defending 
Finland,Sweden v/ill escape becoming

No. SWITZERLAND: ALLIES'' STRONG NEAR EAST POSITION. 
In a statement in the on the
Swiss Press today Allies'strong position in the Near East the for Soviet Russia has been
point is made that respect lost following her 
invasion of Finland. 
The NIUE ZUERCHSR ZEITUNG, the Radical Democratic organ, writes: "Britain and France have built a strong military and political system in 
up 
the Eastern Mediterranean and Asia Minor. Its firmest support is the fact 
that even in the present critical period the local populations have not the 
slightest intention of breaking with the Allies. 
"Differences of opinion may exist hut those who believed the Near Eastern would other side in the event of war
peoples join the proved fundamentally wrong. To that, the action of Russia has specially contributed. Since the 
invasion of Finland respect for Russia has greatly diminished together with certain political hopes based on her. The attitude of Egypt today is symptomatic» Friction with Britain was not lacking in the past but the demonstrations of friendship on the occasion of Mr. Eden's visit to Cairo were 
a plain recognition that the independence of tu<=> Eastern peoples will only be maintained if linked with the Western DGMJcrscies." 
The 

strength of France’s defences is emphasised by the NATIONAL ZEITUNG, the Basle which states in a message from Paris: "Prom the private
newspaper,soldier upward everybody is convinced of the impregnability of the Maginot line,, Incomparable artillery material is in readiness. As regards the air aim it is generally accepted that Britain and Prance have already secured parity with Germany. Reserves of petrol and munitions are enormous. That Britain is regarded with suspicion is sheer nonsense. The British air aim and the British navy are universally admired and no political differences of the past are allowed to influence the present brotherhood of arms.” 
BELGIUM: BALKAN SPECULATION, 
The Balkan 
question is the principal preoccupation of today's Belgian Press and the weight of the 'T'otalitarians' influence is compared with that of the Allies. 
In this vein FAYS REEL, the Right-wing organ, commenting on M. recent interview with a London newspaper writes: "We may presume that 
M. Sarodjoglou wished to appease certain Italian anxieties discussed at the Brenner meeting and also remind the Allies that Turkey has not the intention to allow herself to he drawn into any adventures. " 
The STANDAARD, the Flemish Catholic newspaper, declares: "It is clear that Germany, Russia and Italy consider the Balkans as their lebensraum from which. British and French influence must he excluded. They are mutually striving to demarcate zones of influence hut all are agreed that an Allied intrusion in the Balkans must he stopped." 
This paper adds later: "Thanks to Italy’s influence the Balkan countries are convinced that any emhittering of their private quarrels will bring themselves no advantages hut will deliver the Balkans to fire and sword." 
Several 

newspapers publish a report of Russian attempts to improve relations with Britain and DAG-writes: "That Stalin has not yet chosen can seen from the fact that the Allies have reached no conclusion
already he regarding Moscow, and Rome is not allowing herself to he towed into the 
triple alliance as readily as one might have Brenner

U. S. A; NEED FOR MILITARY PREPAREDNESS. 
The need for U 
nited States military preparedness is vigorously urged by two New York columnists. 
’’ln this crisis which has infected the civilised world the United States carries a double responsibility", writes Walter Winchell. "Besides having ourselves to protect -with one of the smallest armies of them all -we have' 
told the world for 120 Canada and South
years that we would fight to protect America. In brief, the Monroe doctrine is more than our fixed policy. It is 
now our sacred promise. Let no nation or combination of nations make a mistake about this. If so much as one foot of land from Alaska to the Argentine is occupied by ary foreign invader the United States will fight for that foot of land until the or
invader is expelled destroyed. " 
out of the appropriations to modernise the army" and adds: "With the uncertainty over 
the outcome of this war and the final line-up and strength of the Dictator powers Germany, Italy, Russia and Japan a two-ocean problem is a possibility A two-ocean navy is not within the time limits involved. There is therefore possible a great gap in our first line of defence but it need not be a dangerous 
gap not if we have a small swift and such as Hugh Johnson expresses the fear that Congress v/ill "cut the heart 
-

properly equipped modern army the General Staff is now trying to create. Such an army is an absolute necessity for our defence in the present world chaos. " 
An article in the NEW” YORK SIN states that the sinkings of German ore vessels are of great significance. These exploits "represented the opening 
guns of a campaign to cut off the Reich supplies of a product most vitally necessary for the prosecution of the war. If the British succeed in closing this route 
their action may be catastrophic for Hitler’s embattled Reich." 
Writing in the NEW YORK POST, Samuel Grafton denounces Germany for representing herself as a "poor have-not country" and adds: "It is unpopular these days to make nasty remarks about Germany, To show you are neutral is to be mean to Prance and England. The loudest ’neutrals’ demonstrate before French Consulates. They leave Nazi Consulates severely alone. That is the 
fashion now. If the war produces a grain of truth it should, be placed on record, The truth, which swims to the murky surface of the war, is that Germary was not in desperate need and enough resources to conduct her

This 

paper repeats charges made by the Czechoslovak National Council inthe U 
nited States and. the Polish-American Council of Illinois that the Red-Cross 
in Germany after Herr Hitler’s accession to power "ceased to be a humanitarian institution and. is today an arm 
of the Nazi military and propaganda machine. " 
Ludwig Lore states in the NEW YORK POST: "The presence in this country 
on 

a prolonged visit of the G-erman Duke of Coburg, President of the German to
Red. Cross, makes clarity doubly imperative. Washington should, it seems me, consider a little more closely whether the Duke 1 s activity for the German winter help fund is in strict accord with 
our neutrality."

Cynicism as to the value of Stalin's word was expressed in the ST. LOUIS GLOBE DEMOCRAT, 
"There is a familiar ring in Moscow's assurances to Stockholm that Russia has no further territorial ambitions in Scandinavia," declared this paper. "The declaration could have been quoted almost verbatim from any one of several Hitler speeches. Hitler gave lavish assurances to Austria, 
Czechoslavakia and Poland that he had no territorial ambitions in their 
directions but he 
changed his mind." 
Russia's inability to supply Germany with vital materials was stressed in the CLEVELAND PLAIN DEALER which wrote k "Today the Soviet Union cannot supply Germany with sufficient quantities of the three most vital raw materials petroleum, vegetable oil and manganese. The chief drawback is

HOLLAND: CONFLICTING VIEWS ON BRITISH SUBMARINES ’ SINKINGS. 
The Dutch newspapers deal with the British submarine sinkings in the North Sea and try to reconcile two conflicting points of view as neutrals they

support Norway's protests but on the other hand they are in sympathy with Britain's methods of dealing with German sea trade. 
HET VADERLAND, the Liberal newspaper, states: ’’German ways of waging war at sea deserve to be drastically dealt with. In the past week they have sunk numbers of neutral ships without sparing the lives of the. crews.” 
DE 

MAASBODE, the Catholic organ, says: "It is clear that England means to and that the

It is the vicious circle which starts from the first breach of law and

GERiANY: LEIPZIG FAIR REVEALED IN TRUE LIGHT. 
Admissions that the Leipzig Fair v/as not such a ‘tremendous success* as the it out to
German Press had earlier made be, and that Germany’s export trade is dwindling are seen in a recent issue of the FRANKFURTER ZEITUNG. 
This paper wrote: "It will be some weeks before statistics can be issued on the business done in the various branches. In general, however, it may be said that the Leipzig Fair, though primarily intended to promote export trade 
and serve the home
export interests, has switched over unmistakably to market. 
"The Pair had an absolutely stormy course. The smaller manufacturers stated as early as the first and second days that they had booked enough orders 
to keep them occupied for years. The demand for goods was greater than had been expected. In consequence all Y/ishes could not be considered. The allotments of the manufacturers to the retail trade fluctuated between twenty-
five and. fifty per cent and in a few cases reached a hundred per cent. In 
these circumstances the possible alternatives were of extraordinary importance for the course of business. Not only have the manufacturers changed their raw materials in order to increase the flow of production but maiy retailers 
attempted to accept goods in which they had not hitherto dealt. These efforts were used
especially noticeable in articles which could be as presents. Books have largely replaced unobtainable articles of luxury. 
There was an especially high demand for shopping bags made from wood, delivery of which could be made at short notice." 
. The paper was forced to confess that ersatz materials would, not prove acceptable to the German masses. It was stated: "The demand for goods seems to have been felt also for articles made from the new German ersatz materials. Great efforts were made to provide textiles of durable quality 
-
which in view of the strict rationing of all articles of wear is understandable. The fatless substitutes for soap were in great demand, but in the view of experts eighty per cent of the lines will probably not stand the test of

ITALIAN CAPTAIN’S BRAVERY REWARDED. 
RESCUED SURVIVORS OF BRITISH AIRLINER IN MEDITERRANEAN. 
A wonderful piece of seamanship which enabled a small 
Maltese sailing ship to rescue six survivors from a wrecked British 
air liner last December was commemorated at Malta today (Wednesday). A gold watch, the gift of the British Government, was presented to Captain Romano, the Italian master of the brigantine "Guiseppe Padre”, who with the help of his crew, effected the rescue. 
The watch, an English hunter, was taken by air to Malta*. It bore the inscription:-"To Captain Romano * from the British Air 
~
Ministry for gallant rescue work, 21st December, 1939”» 
The presentation was made by General Sir Charles Bohham~ 
Carter, Governor of Malta. The Italian Government was represented by Signor Mario Canino, Consul General at Malta, and the British Air Ministry by Air Commodore H.F.M. Maynard, Air Officer Commanding, 
Royal Air Force, Mediterranean. The Admiral ‘Commanding In Chief, Mediterranean, the Admiral Superintendent, Malta, and representat­ives of the British Army and Imperial Airways were also present. 
The rescue took place partly during darkness in a stormy sea off Sicily and has been described as ”an achievement of the almost 
impossible”. When the aircraft crashed into the sea about 200 yards ahead of the sailing ship, the skipper immediately launched a small boat, although there was a high wind blowing and 
mountainous seas were running. The boat picked up three men from 
the aircraft and, being then fully loaded, returned to the ship 
which by this time had drifted about half a mile away. The rough 
sea and the darkness prevented any further boatwork; and the 
captain got the ship under way in an attempt to pick up the 
remaining survivors. They had been swept off the aircraft wreckage 
and were drifting in the water, rapidly becoming weaker. 
The ”Guiseppe Padre” is an old and unwieldy ship, not oapable of sailing near the wind; but by skilful handling the skipper brought her back the of the disaster. Three survivors were
to scene 
eventually picked up; the last, a wing commander of the Royal Air Force, having been in the w rater nearly three hours. 
The six survivors remained on board the ’'Guiseppe Padre” that night. Next day, the 22nd December, they were transferred to the "St* Geprge”, a Maltese steamer owned by the same company* This ship put back to Malta to land them.­
