MIDDLE EAST
MR CHURCHILL’S BRIEF REFERENCE REINFORCEMENT OF BRITISH TROOPS. NO PROPHECIES MADE. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 11.15 a.m.) RUGBY, October 8. There was a passing reference in Mr Churchill's House of Commons speech to the shape of events in the Middle East. After assuring the House that despite the continued imminence of invasion, the Government had not failed to reinforce British forces in the Middle East or elsewhere, Mr Churchill said: “I shall certainly not make any prophecies of what will happen when the British, Australian, New Zealand and Indian troops come to close grips with the Italian invaders who are now making their way across the Desert to them. All I will say is that we are doing our best there as here, and we are doing a good deal better than we did some time ago.”
