SYMBOL FROM BRITAIN
SOLIDARITY WITH DOMINIONS (.onicial Wireless) (Received Feb. 26, 11.45 a.m.) RUGBY, Feb. 25 Mr C. R. Attlee, the new Dominions Secretary, has sent the following message to the Governments of Australia and New Zealand:— “In these difficult hours, when for the first time in history the danger of war approached the shores of Australia and New Zealand, I hope the appointment to this office of myself as a member of the War Cabinet and as deputy-Prime Minister may be taken as a symbol of the determination of the Government and people of the United Kingdom to do all in their power to help their kinsfolk beyond the seas. I am sure that with full mutual confidence and cooperation we shall come together through these dark times and move steadily to victory.” Mr Attlee also telegraphed a message on similar lines to Canada and South Africa.
