British Know Tide Has Turned
RUGBY, January 13.
In a broadcast to North and Central America, the Joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry for Home Security (Miss Ellen Wilkinson) spoke of the change of attitude and reinforcement of confidence which the public had shown since last June.
She gave many first-hand accounts of the manner in which British women were meeting the challenge of Hitler’s terroristic air war.
After a reference to the days when invasion seemed so near, six months ago, she said:
Ready for Invasion,
“No one in Britain now really thinks the Nazis will get here, although we all think they are going to try. “We are ready for them, but it just does not occur to us that anyone can think Britain will lose this war. “We are in earnest. We face a
worse three months than anything we have had yet, but somehow, in the deep unconscious mind of ‘the tribe’ that one can feel functioning in times like this, we know the tide has tinned.”
