STIRRING MESSAGE
THE KING’S CHRISTMAS BROADCAST CONFIDENCE IN VICTORY. AND IN JUST AND LASTING PEACE. (British Official Wireless.) (Received This Day, 12.55 p.m.) RUGBY, December 25. Listeners throughout the Empire will have heard the stirring message of greetings and encouragement which his Majesty the King broadcast this afternoon from a country house where, with the Queen and the Princesses he had been spending Christmas Day. In the course of his broadcast, the King said: “I think of you, my peoples, as one great family, for that is how we are learning to live. We all belong each to the other. We all need each other. It is in serving each other and in sacrificing for the common good that we are going to find our true life. In that spirit we shall win the war and in that same spirit we shall win for the world, after the war, a true and lasting peace. The greatness of any nation is in the spirit of its people. So it has always been since the dawn of history began and so it shall be with us.”
