WAR WEAPONS WEEK
EDINBURGH’S EFFORT PRIME MINISTER’S MESSAGE (British Official Wireless) RUGBY, Nov. 4. (Received Nov. 5, at 7.30 p.m.) Mr Churchill sent the following message for the opening of War Weapons Week in Edinburgh: “ It is the privilege of Scotsmen to-day to be champions of that cause of freedom for which their fathers in past generations thought no sacrifice too hard. Faithful to their traditions, they endure the struggle with devotion and resolve. It is not given to all of us to serve in the armed forces, but on each single citizen falls the duty of supporting those forces by his thrift and contribution to the utmost of his power.” The first day’s total was £ 1,250,000.
