Foreign News: Still in Stride

• Share

The British are not quite as imperturbable as they seem, but last week they seemed more imperturbable than ever. After taking five and a half long years of war, work and worry in their stride, they now planned to control their V-day whoop & holler. Some fine day soon, the King or Prime Minister would solemnly proclaim the official victory—and the rest of that day Britons would be expected to go about their business as usual. Next day would be a duly designated national holiday, a proper time for celebration. No extra supplies of beer or spirits will be released by the Government for the occasion.
