TAUNT BY HITLER
BRITISH WORKERS WILL
ANSWER
RUGBY, October 6 ;
Drawing attention to the supply situation and citing Herr Hitler's remark that the German army is so well off for ammunition that it has been able to close down factories, the "Daily Express" recalls Mr. Churchill's recent statement in the House of Commons in which he "warned us that the Germans have an abundance of all weapons except aircraft." It takes three years to build up an adequate supply organisation, the "Daily Express" states, and while British and American production is only now reaching this position, Hitler got on the flood tide befbre the war began.
After stating that Germany is offering to sell weapons to other' countries, the "Express" emphasises that while this is no cause for despondency, it is a "grim reason for taking seriously the power of Hitler's war machine. That our enemy should now fling the statement of his surplus weapons about the world is his taunt to the arms workers of Britain and America, and they will not leave it unanswered."—B.O.W.
