BRITISH ARMY
PREPARED THOROUGHLY FOR WAR MR HORE-BELISHA’S LETTER TO CONSTITUENTS. CONFIDENCE IN THE NEW ORGANISATION. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, January G. In a letter to his constituents, Mr Hore-Belisha, who is M.P. for Devonport, refers to his first election to Parliament over 16 years ago and says that he has worked hard in four different Government departments. “At the War Office it was my responsibility to reorganise drastically and prepare thoroughly the British Army for war,” he states. "Many changes and enlargements were necessary, and it now takes the field in ever-growing numbers and in democratic organisation. “It will acquit itself with valour and distinction if and when the occasion comes. Whatever task may fall to me I shall perform with vigour, but I have no thought at the present moment but that of winning the war.”
