HITLER’S GAMBLE
MUST WIN SPEEDILY OR FAIL BRITISH MINISTER’S SURVEY. RISING POWER OF ALLIES. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, May 31. In a broadcast speech on Friday evening Mr Arthur Greenwood, Minister without portfolio, said: “Though we have suffered grievous loss, we have inflicted greater losses on the enemy. Our power in the field, on the sea, and in the air waxes as his wanes. Our economic resources expand as his are are eaten up. Our economic stranglehold makes it more and more difficult for him to replace his weapons of war, clothing, footwear, and food for the people and fighting men. “Hitler has engaged on a desperate gamble. His lightning war is due to the knowledge that to win he must win quickly. He knows he cannot stay the course. If his swiftlyrepeated hammer-blows fail he has failed. That is not so with us. As he flings his whole weight against us he may gain successes here and there. But every step forward he makes toughens the spirit and intensifies the determination of our people.”
