ARMAMENT WORKERS
WEAPONS FOR VICTORY TASK OF COUNTER-ATTACK ftJnlted Press Asn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Sept. 28. 3.15 p.m.) LONDON. Sept. 27 In a message to workers in arms factories Mr Herbert Morrison, Minister of Supply, says: “One of the ratest battles in the world’s history now being fought, not only between our own and the enemy’s air forces, but between the German air force and the men and women of Britain. “I have the honour to lead one division of our civilian army—the workers in arms factories—and to them I issue this order of the day:— “You are front line fighters in the battle of freedom. More than that, you are shock troops, for while the Nazi barbarians rain down their bombs on our people yours is the proud task of counter-attack. “Alone among the troops of our civilian army you can do more than suffer and endure in grim patience—you can hit back. You are the men and women of whom Hitler is afraid, because your hands are forging the weapons of victory.
“Stand to your job. Then victory will crown your efforts.’*
