INSPIRATION TO ALL
SOUTH AFRICAN WILL TO WIN
(British Official Wireless.) (Received November 18, 11.10 a.m.) RUGBY, November 17. Addressing the Overseas .League, the Dominions Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, said, referring to the Dominions delegation: "We have been not only with the British Expeditionary Force, but also with the French armies in the Maginot Line, and thanks to the enthusiasm .of Colonel Reitz, even in advance of the French Maginot Line. The visit was an inspiration to us all. No one who saw what we saw could have the least doubt, if they ever had any, of the ultimate outcome of this struggle."
Colonel Reitz said: "I can assure you that South Africa is in this with both feet and that we are going to see this thing through. We realise that if the Germans were'to win this war we should become a German colony. We should suffer more than any other nation of the British Empire. We are not going to have it."
