THE VITAL POINT. MAINTAINING THE SUPPLY. MR. MASSEY AT THE GUILDHALL LONDON, Nov 6. During the conferring of the Freedom of London on the Rt. Hon W. Massey, at the Guildhall, New Zealan soldiers filled the gallery and >ho.. their war cry. Mr. Massey said that the war reached its most dangerous phase. He considered the enemy, particularly the infantry, was becoming demoralised. It was unquestionable that we were winning, but it was vital to put heart and soul, and strength into keeping up the reinforcements of men and munitions. If we failed in either it would be a blunder worse than a crime, lead ing to the dragging on of the war indefinitely, and forcing an inconclusive peace. He believed that the Empire would last to the - d of time. and that London won 1 ’ v.' .- he its capital.
