HOME OF DEMOCRACY
THE BOMBED HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT
VISITED BY MR FRASER. TRIBUTE TO BRITISH SPIRIT. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 11.35 a.m.) LONDON, August 19. The New Zealand Premier (Mr Fraser) visited the bombed Houses of Parliament. “It was tragic to see the home of democracy blasted open to the sky and to see the wreckage of such historic buildings, which I had frequently visited, in happier times,” said Mr Fraser, “Yet, despite the wreckage of these buildings, Parliament still carries on like the brave people of Britain, whose homes have also been blasted out of existence, and just as newer and better homes and newer and better cities will arise, so newer and better Parliament Buildings will be rebuilt, where the free expression of a free people will bo hoard in the years ahead. The Hun can wreak material damage, but he cannot crush the spirit of democracy."
