THE MIDDLE EAST
MR EDEN VISITS KING TRIBUTE TO BRITISH TROOPS CONFIDENCE IN VICTORY {United Prew Assn.— El*»c. Tel. Copyright) LONDON, Oct. 16 The Secretary of State for War. Mr Anthony Eden, has seen King Farouk. The correspondent of the New York Times with the British forces in the Western Desert has sent the following message from Cairo: “if anyone who is inclined to be pessimistic concerning the outcome of the war between Britain and Italy could visit the British forces in the Western Desert, pessimism would soon vanish. “First-class troops, including some of Britain’s crack regiments. New Zealanders. Australians, Rhodesians. Cypriots, French and Czechs, all strong, sturdy and sun-browned, are working in unity and harmony to defend the cause which they believe to be right and just. “The clockwork organisation of equipment, which was recently reinforced by the latest models, is most impressive.”
