LORD. LLOYD, SECRETARY FOR THE COLONIES,
in a recent broadcast, emphasised the important part being played by the Colonial Empire in assisting the Mother Country to win the war.
"The outbreak of war," he said, "was followed by a torrent of messages from from all over the Colonial Empire Malta and. Aden at the gate of India -right out to the Far East from Hongkong."
Lord Lloyd emphasised the tremendous encouragement given to the people of the British Isles by the splendid con- tributions from the Colonies for the purchase of fighters and bombers. "They fully realise that our war is their war; that our victory will be their victory."
