TOUGH FIGHTING
STILL TO BE FACED IN WINNING THE WAR. OBSERVATIONS BY GENERAL FREYBERG. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) AUCKLAND, This Day. “A spirit of s optimism is abroad at the present time,” said Lieut.-General Sir Bernard Freyberg, V.C., speaking at the Town Hall, where a civic reception was tendered to him. “Let us hope it is justified. I think it is. The end of the war is far from being in sight. Ahead lies a very difficult time. Before the German military machine is smashed, very hard and tough fighting lies ahead This is only a prelude to cleaning ud the situation in the Pacific. Although we can look back to great performances, we have to look forward to times of great difficulty and great stress. Speaking as a practical soldier, now we are equipped, in the air and on the ground, we can look forward with confidence to meeting the Axis and Japanese troops on more than equal terms. That is all those who fought in the early stages of the war ask for.”
