FAITH IN BRITISH PUBLIC
LORD ADDISON’S OPTIMISM (P.A.) WELLINGTON, September 29.
“We have pulled through against Hitler and we shall pull through against this. It takes time and resolution. Thank God we have them,” said the Secretary of State for Commonwealth Relations (Viscount Addison) at a civic reception to-day He added: “I have great faith in the British public. It is wonderful what they will put up with if they know what its about. We are not adopting any secrecy. The amount of products we are turning out is entirely unprecedented, and we are going to make it still more.”
He thought the tonnage of meat New Zealand, a country with under 2.000.000 population, had sent Britain was almost a miracle. He said the marvellous wheat crop expected in Australia would be a Godsend as it would mean Britain’s spending fewer dollars on wheat from America.
