GROUNDS FOR CONFIDENCE
MEETING STRESSES OF WAR. What are the factors that give us confidence? asks the “Daily Herald.” We are confident in ourselves. We have watched our neighbours under (he strain and peril of bombardment. They have watched us. And there has been no flinching. This people, so deeply wedded to peace, has measured up like any warrior race to the brutal shocks and stresses of war. Next, we are confident in our Government and our Parliament. We sometimes criticise the men whom we chose to lead us. That is our right, and by the exercise of our right we strengthen them in authority as well as inspiration. We are confident in our armed forces. All have given sterling evidence of their command of the situation. So here we stand—a free people, a happy people, chosen by Destiny for the role of the rock on which Tyranny's last wave will break and shatter itself. Let us look again and again to our preparation. Let us waste no moment and withhold no effort in the task of equipping ourselves for self-defence, and the following thrust to victory. Let us add thoroughness to courage, cunning to confidence, and the end is not in doubt.
