MESSAGE OF HOPE
PEOPLE OF SINGAPORE LORD MOYNE’S FAITH MUST END IN VICTORY <Official Wireless) (Received Feb. 13. 11 a.m.) RUGBY. Feb. 12 “I want to send this message to the people of Malaya, men, women and children of many races, Malayans, Chinese and British from all parts of the Empire in this hour of stern ordeal,” said the Colonial Secretary, Lord Moyne, in a broadcast. “Be assured that you are constantly in our thoughts. Whether you serve in the armed forces or the civil defence, whether you are fighting flames or helping the wounded, all the world is watching your courage and endurance. ‘‘A savage attack has shattered the peace which you have enjoyed for many generations and destroyed the fruits of your industry- The struggle is bitter but there is ranged on our side the whole might of the British Empire and its powerful Allies. Such struggles must end in final victory. Despite grave reverses we shall break the enemy’s power and restore your freedom of life.”
