“TIME TO LOOK AHEAD”
BRITAIN NOW BULWARK OF THE WESTERN WORLD
NEW YORK PAPER’S TRIBUTE
Paying tribute to Britain’s determination to fight till victory is won, the NeAV York Herald Tribune Avrites: “More than ever that island Kingdom is now the buhvark of the Western World, the hope of democratic tradition, the main remaining defence of what is left of decency, peace, enlightenment and freedom on this earth. For the disaster that has been sweeping across the Western democratic system many people must share the responsibilities. Because of their freedom the democracies are not quick at Avar . . . They do not see as clearly or act as promptly as they might. Many Avere at fault, but it is idle hoav to look back. For all Avh.o hold to the belief in liberal democratic tradition this is no time for talking of responsibilities. It is a time for Ipoking fonvard only, for clinging to their convictions and' for defending by Avliaf means are possible the Avay of life in Avhich they beiieA r e.”
