"We Are Confident That The Enemy. Will Be Beaten Off," Says Eden
Rousing, Optimistic Broadcast Speech
LONDON, June 25 (Reuter).—Broadcasting to-night, Mr. Anthony Eden, Minister for War, said that the time was approaching when the enemy, having over-run all outlying forts of herty, would launch his assault on the main citadel—our own land:
Enemy bombing attacks at night would be continued and possibly other forms of attack would be attempted also.
"They will be repulsed and we shall subject the enemy in his own country to constant and heavy counter-attack from
the air.
"We are confident that the enemy will be beaten off."
Giving the reasons for his! complete confidence, Mr. Eden said that character of the Britons was the first reason.
"We know you will never inch. We have learned from the tragic fate of the French nution that civilisation cannot be preserved by material means alone.
Concreto Ramparts Not Enough
"We have seen that ramparts of concrete are not mough.
"It is only by dedication of human spirit and human will through the length and breadth of the land that complete and 'final victory can be
won.
"These are dangerous days— days when the fibre of our race will be put to a hard test. But we also know in our hearts that they are the days of great opportunity such as come few generalions,

"It is our privilege as an Empire standing to preserve, to restore and in the end to extend the frontiers of freedom.
Stirring Sign Of Unity "The presence of troops in these, islands from every part of the Commonwealth is a stirring sign of the deep unlty of purpose whilels inspires all its peoples.
We and our defence will live-the dlocks, factories, ships and aerodro- mes."
You Will Be Bombed, Warning
Mr. Eden continued:
"We have great numbers of machines and we ure getting more every day, but wo shall always have to

"I cannot promise you that you, will not be bombed but I can and do promise you that the lot of the invader will become increasingly uuenviabic.
"We are now a fortress-until the time comes to sally to attack. It is} not sufflelent merely to defeat an at- tnck on these islands."
Mr. Eden said the 1.250,000 men under arms in this country had now been increased by the arrival of Aus- tralian and New Zealand contingents, and by the return of a large number of British and Allied troops from France.
Many of these men had met the enemy and were confident that they could beat him.
Can Defeat Invasion "Never before have we had a The French nation, in its ogony, greater number of soldiers on this has nowhere to look but to us for the island," Mr. Eden went on. "We are salvation of the precious-heritage of confident that we can throw a suffl- civilisation which must inevitably eient force against any enemy who pass from Europe unless we, with
