PEOPLE OF BRITAIN

RUGBY, April 6,
The arrival of the British forces, including many men from New Zealand and Australia, to help Greece in her fight against aggression, is welcomed by the people of Britain.
There have been abundant signs that in his recent speech pledging support to Greece by every means in Britain's power, Mr. Churchill spoke for the entire nation, which has been deeply moved by the inspiring example of this small country's successful resistance to unprovoked attack by a Power five times her own size.
The enthusiasm aroused here by the heroic feats of the Greek troops has been shared by free peoples throughout the world and throughout the Press of the Empire, and in particular the chivalry of Britain's proved ally has been warmly applauded.
While the recent visits of Mr. Eden and the Chief of the Gereral Staff were generally regarded as timely, it is emphasised that such decisions as were made were reached only after very careful weighing of reports of the situation reaching London from experts on the spot. Full account is taken of the difficulties that are likely to be encountered, and complete confidence is felt in the ability to deal with all emergencies:.
