LONDON. Jan. 2s.-That Great
Britain and her allies will carry the
war to final and decisive victory" was
the keynote of the Kings speech today
in prorogating Parliament to Febru'
airy Is. The speech vas one OF the
briefest on recorder such an occasion,
but was regarded as highly important
in expressing the determination OF
England to fight to the end. The King
said:
For IS months my navy and army
have been engaged in concert with
brave and steadfast allies in defend
ing u common liberty and the public
law of Europe against unprovoked en-.
croachments by the enemy. I am sus,
tanned by the determination Of my peo'
pie at home and overseas to carry our
flag to a final and decisive victory. In
this struggle forced upon us by those
who hold In light esteem the liberties
and covenants which we regard as
sacred, We shall not lay down our
arms until we have indicated the
cause which carried with 1t the future
Of civilization. I rely with confidence
upon the loyal and united efforts OF
all my subjects which have never fail.
ed me and l pray that Almighty God
may give us His blessing"
