COULD WIN ONLY IN THE AIR
By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received January 17, 11.20 p.m.) MELBOURNE, January 17.
“1 say that this is a war in which the British Empire can be beaten. I say so with infinite regret. Ido not think we will lose, but the response up to the present has not been of the kind to give the sure guarantee we would like,” said the Minister of Information, Sir Henry Gullett, in appealing today for an overwhelming response to the Empire air scheme. “Recruits'cannot come along too early,” he said. “Only by supremacy in the air can we win the war. I do not think we can win it by land or sea. In the coming year we must stiffen ourselves for patches of grave news, as a German blow of great strength is due at any moment.”
