"If you want to imagine what this war is like,” says an English correspondent in a letter received in Auckland the other day, “remember the last one—and then forget it. Then remember the ‘jitters’ of September. 1938. and forget those, too. Then get a quiet acceptance of the fact that we are in a war. after all. and that wo will, definitely, win it. Add to this a splash of apprehension as to what the air raid will be like when it comes, and you have the atmosphere of the new war. The normal opinion is that Hi Iler has got to be stopped, that, we are the only ones really able to do it. and so it has to he done.”
