MUST BE READY Invasion Peril Not Yet Over
London, Sept. 3. The need for special watchfulness against an attempt at invasion during the next few weeks was stressed by Mr. Anthony Eden speaking at the National Defence Public Interest luncheon to-day. He opened speech with a tribute to the Prime Mirister and said that the country's debt to his courage and inspiration was inexpressible and unimaginabic. Nothing could equal his courage
at
the darkest hour. He was a true warrior, braVE and fertile in ex- pedients, ever cool and watchful.
