BLOW DUE ANY MOMENT
“Britain Can Be Beaten” United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Received January 17, 10.50 p.m.) MELBOURNE, January 17. “I say that this is a war in which the British Empire can be beaten. I say so with infinite regret. Ido not think we will lose, but the
response up Io the present lias not been of the kind to give the sure guarantee we would like,” said the Minister of Information, Sir Henry Gullett, in appealing for an overwhelming response to the Empire air scheme. “Recruits cannot come along too early. Only by air supremacy can we win. 1 do not think we can win it by land or sea. In the coming year we must stiffen ourselves for patches of grave news, as a German blow of great strength is due at any moment.”
