The Dominion Ministers landed at a Channel port from France to-day. The Dominions Secretary (Mr It. A. Eden), in a statement, said: “We were impressed more than ever with the strength of the defences of Erance and the preparedness of her army.”
The officer commanding the sector the Dominion Ministers visited stated that France at times was misunderstood and depicted as fickle and frivolous, but she had tenacity second only to Britain’s. The Allies would hold on until the final triumph.
