THE CHILDREN HELPED
A short time ago your correspondent "Vivian Potter was writing in support of the "Britain Stood Alone" school. It was vain to protest that little New Zealand had sent what was, for New Zealand, P°^ e , " ful help—trained airmen to neip fight the Battle of Britain such men as Squadron-Leader Allan Deeie, D.F.C., of Wanganui, subject of tne official portrait portraying the type who fought that battle, and, of course, the whole of our Second Echelon, with arms and ammunition. Mr. Potter sneered at this as . tesimal. Now he is contradicted by no less an authority than Mr. ChurchillAddressing the N.Z.E.F. °^ ts^ r Tripoli. Mr. Churchill gladly acknowledged that "Britain stood alone tor over a year, championed only by " children from overseas.' That. is. enough. It is all that other coriespondents asserted at the time.
