Colors of the §tamps in Book No. 4 are blue, red and green. In addition there are 96 ( u n i t stamps printed in black. Seventy-two of them 'are marked “spare” and can be used in case additional ration stamps are needed for any future program. Twelve of the black stamps are printed “Sugar” and 12 are printed, “Coffee,” but OPA explained that the plates for these pages were printed before coffee was off the list of ra tioned foods. It does not mean, OPA said, that coffee is likely to be ra tioned again. 1 V i. of the day—and he indicated that the bases would be available to the United States if needed in emer gencies. f The commander-in-chief told his news conference that the British- Portuguese agreement stemmed from his conference here last May with Prime Minister Churchill. Assur ances were given the Portuguese at the time, he said, that neither Brit ain nor this country had any desire to gain territory by taking the At lantic islands away from PortugaL British forces will be withdrawn from the Azores at the end of the war, Churchill said. Britain for her part is to assist “in furnishing essen tial material and supplies for the Portuguese armed forces and for the maintenance of Portugal’s national economy.” / Churchill , told commons that the new facilities “will enable better pro tection to be provided for merchant shipping in the Atlantic,” and “will prove an important factor in shorten ing the war.”' '' Although the agreement was an nounced amid rumors that Portugal, Britain’s oldest ally, was about to take an active role in the war, Churchill made it clear that the Portuguese government — in full! agreement with Britain — desired to “continue their policy pf * neutrality on the European mainland and thus to maintain a zone of peace in the Iberian peninsula.” Premier Antonio de Salazar of Portugal emphasized the same point in a press conference at Lisbon, say- ilng nothing in the agreement affected Portuguese determination to main tain neutrality on the European mainland: It was considered likely here that the Germans would refrain from hos tility toward tiny Portugal, "which | has an army of only 150,000 and a negligible air force, in order to keep [ | up their valuable diplomatic and spy 1 'activity in Lisbon. The foreign ministry of Spain, j j which has a pact of friendship and' non-aggression with her Iberian neighbor, issued a note saying the Spanish policy of vigilant neutrality 1 would be maintained.
