“WE FIGHT ALONE”
/ WHO HELPS BRITAIN. “There is more to Britain than a brave and fighting island. Like the Englishman who looked eastward from the Cliffs of Dover on the day of the fall of France, her peoples can say ‘We fight alone—all 500,000,000 of us.’ Theirs are the Canadian transport trucks which carried British troops across Africa, the 125,000,000 pairs of Indian-made boots on which Empire troops are marching. Theirs is the gold from South Africa, tin from Malaya, wheat from Australia, and a gift of 50,000 dollars from the tiny speck of an island called Banaba. This is Britain to-day. This is the Empire which in the past few months has taken on a new vigour and unity. Paced by Canada, India, Australia and New Zealand, it is funneling into the common war chest an ever-broad-ening stream of guns and butter, men and materials, which is giving the British struggle a new momentum.” —G. Walker in the Christian Science Monitor.
