THERE'S A GREAT DAY COMING

The men-and women who built up Britain's World-wide Empire were people of character—resolute and industrious —who loved freedom and liberty better than life itself. Today we find ourselves working and fighting again for things all Britishers hold dear — liberty, equality, pursuit of happiness —with their same old brand of'courage, skill, and teamwork.

No Britisher—no New Zealander — can afford at this time to dwell too much on what's going to happen after the war. We have to win the war first. But there's plenty of reason for complete faith in Victory. Never before in British history have Government, industry, the workers, and fighters joined together so wholeheartedly with one single determined aim.

- The automotive industry throughout the Empire and the United States has set the pace in the production of war material with complete conversion to war work. At American and British Ford plants, acres of factories, miles of machinery and armies of skilled workers are devoted one hundred per cent, to turning out tools of war. The New Zealand Ford factory is lined up with its overseas brothers in this allout war effort.

Meanwhile Ford research and engineering laboratories, in the course of war production are discovering new materials and improved manufacturing methods which will result in even finer peacetime products—after Victory is won.

Yes, a new and brighter tomorrow awaits the people of the world, when machines will become a benevolent power in the hands of a universe at Peace.—P.B.A.
