General Smuts Believes

Britain Will Win

"NAZIS WHO COULD NOT SUCCEED AT DUNKIRK CAN NEVER TAKE BRITAIN"

SUPREME CONFIDENCE IN GREAT BRITAIN'S ULTIMATE VICTORY WAS THE KEYNOTE OF A BROADCAST TALK BY GENERAL SMUTS, THE SOUTH AFRICAN PREMIER.

Many people, regarding the chances of Britain in the light of what had happened to France and other unfortunate countries, had reluctantly come to accept the German view and to look on the war as already lost, he said.

To the faint-hearted he would point out two considerations which should be

REDUCE THE OPERATING COST-PER-MILE ON ALL TYPES AND SIZES OF TRUCKS AND BUSES WITH GOODYEAR GIANT TYRES

16 DIFFERENT TYPES

78 DIFFERENT SIZES

No one Giant Tyre is suitable for all work. So Goodyear makes a spe- cifia tyre for each type of truck or bus opera- tion. For instance, there is the YKL tyre, designed to conquer the intense heat developed in truck or bus service, and the LUG type tyre for gruelling, off-the- road work in tread gouging rocks, or sticky mud. These are but two of many Goodyear special service tyres.
