“WE SHALL END IT”
BRITISH PEOPLE S SPIRIT “CAN MANAGE” ON RATIONS “Do not worry about us regarding foodstuffs,” writes a relative in England of Mrs Zoe Harris, Hamilton. "There is plenty of everything excepting butter, bacon and sugar. Of butter we get each person, which occasionally is raised to 6oz. and margarine extra. “Of sugar the ration is £lb per person, plus jam sugar, and sometimes this is raised to 12oz. You should see our dining tables—cream, cakes, salads, meat pies; in fact everything unlimited excepting butter, bacon and sugar. We can manage on that allowance.
“In the last few weeks air raids have been frequent. London is suffering badly, but not so much as Berlin. Our R.A.F. is wonderful—even the Germans think so, because they are squealing. They don’t like the stuff they gave Poland and the other small nations. But they started the game and we shall end it our own way.”
