No Easing Up
"Wc arc. coming round the bentl after gruelling years, but we don't yet know what other bends there may be,*' said Mr T. F. L«. Elliot, chairman of the 1 British Ministry of Supply Mission in India, when replying to the welcome accorded him and his £c.llow-mcnibcrs of the Eastern Group Supply Council,, at a State luncheon. Mr Elliot empha--sised the importance of everyone doing his or her utmost. Any slackening would only prolong the war, lie said, and every second the war was prolonged cost lives. No Weapons Obsolete 4< Do you consider that the tank has been rendered more or less ineffective as a weapon of war on account of the increased effectiveness of gunfire?" was a question put to Brigadier \M. Inglis during au* interview at Timaru. "Believe me," quickly replied tire brigadier, "the tank is a long way from being intellective . Perhaps it has not thosome chance as previously of going on for miles without being brought v to a halt, but because its effectiveness lias been restrained, that does not make*it obsolete. The modern army can no more do without tho tank that it can do without the. bayonet. Tux fact, every weapon,has its place in the Army."
