BROWS FUTURE

MIGHTIER THAN EVER AWAITING THE STORM "FEARLESS AND ERECT" 'British Official Wireless) (United Press Association) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright) RUGBY, Aug. 7. (Received Aug. 8, at 7 p.m.) Mr Lloyd George, in a broadcast message to Welsh people, said: "The storm clouds which have been gathering over our country and her

empire are now assuming a darker and more threatening purple, not cnlv over our own land but in many

Quarters of the globe where the interests of Britain are concerned. There is every sign in the firmament that such a tempest as Britain has never before encountered is about to break upon her and all she stands for. " If her people are worthy of their forefathers Britain will pass through this hurricane fearless and erect, and will emerge from its rage mightier, more honoured and more powerful than ever for the good of mankind. ' " This is a dav of agony of little nations. On the Continent of Europe their national liberties and their hopes are being crushed under the terrible iron chains of the Nazi legions. But the three smaller nations of the British Isles have been taught by their own history that although the national spirit of the people may be bruised and even temporarily broken, it never dies, for it lives on in the memories, traditions and songs of their native land."
