"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 New York Herald Tribune writes: "More than ever that Island Kingdom is now the bulwark 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 war . . . They do not see as clearly or act as promptly as they might. Many were at fault, but it is idle now to look back. For all who hold to the belief in liberal democratic tradition this is no time for talking of responsibilities. IL is a time for looking forward only, for clinging to their convictions and for defending by what means are possible the way of life in which they believe."
