TO VICTORY
"The chance to lay firm grasp or. our prospects of victory depends on the speed with which we 6'ring our potential resources to the battlefronts and the thoroughness with which we sacrifice every, pastime and enjoyment that impedes this result. Work and self-denial are our infallible guides. Every man jack of us knows it. Why, then, is, petrol squandered in taking crowds to greyhound races and golf clubs? Why have we not yet cut down om production of civilian requirements as rigorously as the Germans? Why can some of us still over-eat if we want to? Why are we living above the level of hardship and tlic guide to victory demands? Legislation cannot remove all these blemishes
of our record in this war for sur-i vival of mankind.. The ordinance of self-denial must be imposed upon ourselves. Yet at this hour we believe the people say to their rulers-: 'If we enjoy comforts which our seamen must risk their necks to bring to our shores, and which deprive our -soldiers of their tank 3 and our pilots of their machines, take them from us. We know the penalty of defeat. ' We know the price of victory. We are ready to pay for it."—Evening Standard, London.
