STEED
Continued from Page 1
Mr. Steed opened his talk. by stating that during the past week he had been in several parts of "Central England and South Wales. He had covered a 'good many hund- reds of miles and had addressed a number of 'public meetings.
Public meetings were still being held in British towns and cites even where the air raids had been most frequent and where the dam- age had been most severe, This damage, however, could not really be called severe bcause it had not prevented the trade of Britain from going on.
Loss of life had occurred prin- cipally in private houses.
Mr. Steed then went on to des- cribe his journey by road through Central England. Trafic on the road was heavy but was such a little hindrance that his car was able to averave 30 miles per hour. He saw no panic of any kind on the whole trip."
STREETS NOT EMPTY
In London that afternoon, when he got back, there were seven air raids, with the anti-aircraft guns firing continuously. He was sur- prised. therefore, that when he went to take his train for South Wales to see that the streets were by no means empty.
When he arrived in South Wales, which had been receiving much of Herr Hitler's attention. there in- deed he saw that docks and other centres had been harder hit than In England
"But the impression I pb- tained of the spirit of the per- ple was better even than that in London-they were calm and confident determined to stay put and to help to win the war."
7
Mr. Steed went on to give two typical Instances of the spirit of the people of South wales.concern- ing the behaviour of a man whose home had been crushed. by a bomb, but whose wife and child had been saved, and a plucky young boy who had volunteered to take a message to a distant post 'during a very severe air raid.
Mr. Steed also referred to "the magnificent courage of the squad of engineers who had dug out a high explosive bomb, which would otherwise have wrecked St. Paul's Cathe- dral, and carried it out five miles and exploded it harm- lessly.
+
"Such men deserve recogni- tion and reward." declared Mr. Stoed.
"In a place, which I shall not mention beyond saying that its population is less than 40,000,"
