BRITAIN’S FIGHTING TRADITIONS
♦ , PART PLAYED BY PRESENT GENERATION (Special Correspondent N.Z.P.A.) (Rec. 6 p.m.) LONDON. June 4. One of the New Zealand members of the Empire Parliamentary delegation, Mr W. P. Endean, in a speech at the National Defence Committee’s luncheon said the traditions of Great Britain were never more worthily upheld than by the present generations of fighting men and women. He compared Mr Churchill with the Maori chief who defied his enemies with the cry “Ake, ake kia kaha.” It summed up the British people’s attitude against the greatest international criminals that ever disgraced this good earth. Mr Endean paid tribute to the British people’s modesty and said that as a military genius, General Alexander far surpassed Rommel. “This job is not finished by any means,” he added. “We have fought several rounds and are now in about the twelfth’. I do not think there will be many more before our man is floored.”
