Devastation in Britain the much less than world has been led to be- lieve, said Mr. R. G. Men- zies, the Australian Pre- mier, speaking in London yesterday.

The Germans would never win the war by knocking over houses, he added. They could not win till they had knocked over the spirit of the British people.
