UNDERVALUING
THINGS THEY THEMSELVES ACHIEVE FAULT OF THE BRITISH "There...4s a tendency to criticise and undervalue*' - everything., we do ourselves A We must not forget, the ,£30,000,000 paid out in lS^ r 'afone. in sickness and other health insurance benefits, or the £97,000,0001 a year paid out and old-age have a lower infantile mortality than Germany and also a lower maternal mortality—we are not only a freer but a stronger people.; But no one in Germany is allowed to learn those facts. They are fed on fantastic lies. Jf they listen in to the facts that we broadcast from day to day tliej r find themselves in concentration camps. In 1935 there were over 202,000 people in G(|mtan prisons as against 13,000 in -ll^in—ls for every one in Britain.-To-day-in-Britain our. numbers are actually lower. ]S r o. one outside the Gestapo knows how many thousands more are herded to-day in concentration camps under conditions which are a disgrace to civilisation."—Mr Walter Elliot, British Minister of Health
