Coal for France and the Navy. Franco was depending on them for coal. France had done more for democracy than any other land on earthy and she was Dow bogging them to send coal. He also wanted them to do it for the ships oT the British Navy, to fill thoir bunkers. "It means," ho said, "an inviolable Britain; it means a Britain which, with your help, can defy the most potent pnemy in tho world. I am sick at heart at having to call attention to the gravity of the situation, which is sufficiently serious to call for united action by every man and woman in the country. If we work together wo shall win a victory for European liberty such as will tesound throughout the ages of the world."- ■ Public-Spirited Owners.
