May Become Too Used To Good News
(P.A.) WELLINGTON. This Day. Opening the Navy League War Council annual meeting today, the GovernorGeneral (Sir Cyril Newall) said he thought (here was just a danger of people becoming too accustomed to good news. The news at the moment was very, very good. While things were going well, and he felt they would continue to do so, theroad ahead was a long one, not altogether straight or smooth. “We must keep on and not get the impression that it is all over bar the shouting—it is not by a long way,” he said. He urged that they should not forget what the sailors were achieving. The news of the diminution of submarine sinkings of shipping was very gratifying, but it must be realised that we were fighting a skilled and ruthless enemy. Though there might be lulls in sinkings, we must expect a recrudescence of submarine activity. In fact, it had already started. Everything must be done to relieve the burdens of the Royal and Merchant Navies both in the way of comforts and by other means.
