"Thousands of you," said the Princess, "have

had to leave your homes and be separated from your fathers and mothers. My sister Margaret Rose and I feel so much for you, as we know from experience what it means to be away from those we love most of all.

"To you living in new sur- roundings, we send a message of true sympathy and at the same time we should like to thank the

"All of us children who still at home think continually of our friends and relations who have gone overseas thousands of miles to find a wartime home and of the kindly welcome in Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and the United States.

New Scenes

My sister and I feel we know quite a lot about these countries. Our father, and mother have so often talked to us of their visits in different parts of the world that it is not difficult for us to picture the sort of life you are all leading and to think of all the new sights you must be see- ing and the adventure, you must be having.

"I want, on behalf of all the children, to send you our love and best wishes to you and your kind hosts. Before I finish, I can truthfully say to you all that we children at home are full of. cheerfulness and courage. We are trying to do all we can to help our gallant sailors, soldiers and airmen, and we are trying too to bear our own share of danger and sadness of war.

Task Of Future

"We know, everyone of .us. that in the end all will be well for God will care for us and give us victory and peace.

"When peace comes, remember It will be for us the children of

"My sister is at my side and we are both going to say good- night to you. Come on, Mar- garet:"

Princess Margaret Rose then said good-night and Princess Elizabeth, "good-night and good luck to you all."-Reuter.

Before the war arrangements had been made for the construc-. tion of 56 of these vessels in Bri tish shipyards. Since then, a great many more have been put in. hand, including a big batch, in Canada and more in Australia.

They will all be classed as cor.. vettes, a name which, it may be suggested, will come to mean "danger to U-boats. It is un- derstood they will be named after flowers;

The Me. 110 was designed, as a twin-engined fighter, but ad-. apted for bombing. Its develop- ment is comparable with that of-* the British Blenheim bomber, which is now also produced a twin-engined long-range fighter and is formidably armed.
