SPIRITUAL ARMAMENT
"Weapons ana munitions .of war, essential though they are to our effort, are not all we need." said Mr Herbert Morrison, the British Labour leader and Ministei of Supply, in a recent address "We need resources of mind and will too. We need to rebut the enemy's continual attempts to weaken our morale to make us doubt ourselves and our power to win. We need to steel out hearts and io blunt the edge of thai weapon of terror which is so persistently and so deliberately used against us The Germans haw never yet beaten a country which they had not first weakened and eaten away from within. They will never beat a country which they cannot intimidate, divide and corrupt lam the Minister of Supply, charged with the provision of our material equipment but T say to you in all seriousness that the weapon you have in your keeping is the most powerful of them all —the weapon <>f courage, of calm resolution, and faith in the power of a just cause, of a firm refusal to be afraid."
