EMPIRE SUPPLIES
HELP FROM THE COLONIES DISCUSSIONS WITH DOMINIONS AN APPEAL TO PARENTS (Official Wireless) RUGBY, Dec. 14 Mr Chamberlain, in a statement in the House of Commons, said there had been a full and frank exchange of views with the Dominion Ministers, proving of the highest value in the general strategical and diplomatical aspects of the war. Britain greatly appreciated India’s war effort. The same applied to Burma and Britain was not overlooking the importance of employing the Empire’s vast material resources, and discussions are being energetically pursued for essential materials, and arrangements being made to increase the colonies’ output of tin, rubber and foodstuffs. Measures had been taken to secure suppiles of sugar, cocoa, vegetables and oils from the colonies for the use of the Dominions and the Allies. Mr Chamberlain pleaded with parents not to allow their evacuated children to return. Whatever risks the nation took could not be extended to the children.
