DEFYING THE HUN
SPIRIT OF BRITAIN CANNOT BE CRUSHED MR. FRASER’S TRIBUTE (Reed. Aug. 20, noon.) LONDON, Aug. 19. The New Zealand Prime Minister, Mr. P. Fraser, visited the bombed Houses of Parliament.' “It was tragic to see the home of democracy blasted open to the sky and see the wreckage of such historic buildings which I had frequently visited in happier times,” declared Mr. Fraser, “Yet, despite the wreckage of these buildings, Parliament still carries on like the brave people of Britain, many of whose homes have also been blasted out of existence and just as newer and better homes and newer and better cities will arise, so newer and better Parliament buildings will be rebuilt where the free expression of free peoples will be heard in the years ahead. “The Hun can wreak material damage, but cannot crush the spirit of democracy.”
