TIDE HAS TURNED
MISS ELLEN WILKINSON'S DECLARATION BRITISH DETERMINATION & CONFIDENCE. READY FOR THE NAZIS. 'Briiish Ofticial Wireless.l RUGBY. January 12. In a broadcast to North and Central America, Miss Ellen Wilkinson, joint Parliamentary Secretary to the Ministry of Home Security, spoke of the change of attitude and reinforcement of confidence which the public had experienced since last June, and gave first-hand accounts of the manner in which British women were meeting the challenge of Hitler’s terroristic air war.
After a reference to the days when invasion seemed so near six months ago. she said: “No one in Britain now really thinks the Nazis will get here, though we all think that they arc going to try. We are ready for them. But it just doesn’t occur to us that anyone can think that Britain will lose this war.
“We are in earnest. We face a worse throe months than anything we have had yet. But somehow in that deep unconscious mind of "the tribo” that one can feel functioning in times like this wc know the tide has turned."
