NEW KIND OF WARFARE
e | COURAGE WILL BE TESTED
JIU PA.-by Electric Telegraph—Copyright! LONDON, 23rd JanuarySir John Anderson in a speech at a I National Service rally said: “The new I kind of war we may have to face will | differ in two ways from anything Bri- | tain has known for a thousand years. It will firstly be an aerial invasion, sudden, swift, perhaps almost continuous. Secondly, there will undoubtedly be military objectives, but it will test the courage and steadiness of the ordinary people. We can give a double answer: Firstly, a strong, wellequipped and active defence, and secondly what is wrongly called passive defence, namely immediate action by an organised citizen army. In order to maintain our war effort we must be ready to brace ourselves to meet the first shock at short notice, and be prepared to see the shock does not paralyse the nation.
