INSPIRATION TO ALL
MR. EDEN'S COMMENT (British Official Wireless.) Reed. noon. RUGBY. Nov. 17. Addressing the Overseas League. Mr. Anthony Eden said: "We have been not only with the British Expeditionary Force, but also with the French armies on the Maginot Line, and, thanks to the enthusiasm of Colonel Denys Reitz, even in advance of the French Maginot Line. "The visit was an inspiration to us all. No one who saw what we saw would have the least doubt, if they ever had any, of the ultimate outcome of this struggle." Colonel Reitz said: "I can assure you that South Africa is in this with both feet and we are going to see this thing through. We realise that if Germany were to win this war we should become a German colony. We should suffer more than any other nation of the British Empire. We are not going to have it."
