Mr James Forrestal, the United States Defence, Secretary, volunteered a tribute in New York yesterday to “the great spirit and patience of the British people,” on his return from a six-day tour of England and Europe. Singling out the British alone for mention, Mr Forrestal said that after eight years privation the British were still confined to food rations which were adequate, but “something less than moderate in appeal. I can have only the most vivid impression of the courage and tenacity of the British people.”—N.Z.P.A. —New York.
