CONFIDENCE IN FUTURE

NEW YEAR MESSAGES THE KING’S HOPE SPIRIT OF ENDURANCE. (British Official Wireless.! Rec. noon. RUGBY, Jan. 2. In reply to a message from the Lord Mayor of London conveying New Year greetings on behalf of the citizens ol London, His Majesty the King warmly reciprocated the sentiments expressed, and adds: — “We have passed through a difficult and anxious year and no one has failed to realise the great weight of responsibility that still faces us. But 1 am confident that the spirit of dogged determination and courage which has been the mainspring of our efforts in the past will continue to guide our ways and inspire our hearts. I know the City of London will, as ever, stand four square to all .the bufferings that the ends of circumstances may bring, and therefore I hopefully send my greetings to her citizens, praying that under Divine Providence the coming year may lighten our task.” The Prime Minister, Mr. Ramsay MacDonald, in his New Year message, stated:—•*,The yenr to which we say goodbye has been one of hard work and a struggle for all, and a hardship for too many. But I think we have been sustained by the thought that we were pressing forward along the right road, that we were making real progress, and that here and there glimpses of better things ahead could be discerned. It is my very earnest hope that in the year 1933 our country as a whole may receive some of the reward which the efforts of its people deserve.”
