In an address to 6000 civil defence workers at Hyde Park' today, Mi Churchill said: “We are bombing Germany with heavier bombs now than at any previous period, but that is only the beginning. We shall continue the process on an ever-increasing scale till our task is accomplished.” Mr Churchill referred to the great part being played in this offensive by the contribution of the workers of the. United States. He also issued a warning that the people would have to expect a renewed attack by the enemy. There was a lull at the present, but it might not last long. He called on them to put forth their best efforts and to remain calm and confident in ultimate victory. SPIRIT OF PLYMOUTH UNBROKEN UNDER ORDEAL OF BOMBING. CANADIAN COMMISSIONER’S TRIBUTE. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, July 12. Speaking at Plymouth, the Canadian High Commissioner, Mr Massey, referred to the destruction caused by air raids and said he had seen himself evidence of the ordeal citizens had been through. “Many of your houses and public buildings have been laid low, but the spirit of Plymouth is unbroken and will remain so to the. very end.” he said. Speaking of Canada’s contribution to the common cause, Mr Massey said the Dominion had become a formidable arsenal. She now had the largest factory in the world producing machineguns and had made more than 100,000 motor vehicles for the army. Whereas a year ago Canadian armament orders totalled under 60.000.000 dollars today they were nearly throe times that figure.
