LONDON, June 15 (Renter)-"The British working people are responding to Mr. Ernest 'Bevin's call to like hell,'" said Mr. John Fife, of the Transport and Gener- al Workers' Union, in a broadcast yesterday. "

The working people are working as they never worked before, he began. Mr. Bevin,, (Minister of Labour and National Service) had told him that the response has ex- ceeded his wildest expectations.

A few nights ago, Andre Maurois, the great "French writer, appealed to the British people to do the impossible to help France.

LONDON, June 18 (Reuter) Mr. Harold Nicholson, Parliamen- tary Secretary to the Ministry of Information krondonating last night, said: "When Hitler hands somebody a bunch of roses, he is always careful that it should con- tain some really nasty thorns.

"So when he assured America she has no cause to be frighten- ed, he added a nasty bit about implying the Monroe Doctrine, thereby his promise not to attack America being only good as long as the United States kept out of Europe."

Referring to Hitler's expressed determination to sash British sea-power and restore what he called "freedom of the seas," Mr. Nicholson said that is 2 cunning Dove, since many millions of people in the United States regard this phrase as something beauti- ful and comforting.

The working people of Britain are making great sacrifices willing- Is and cheerfully, and are doing so for two main reasons:Firstly, be- cause they appreciate the need for port from the Unions has been 100 of the seas super-human efforts at the present per cent! moment;
