declared yesterday in a speech at New

1--WE talk a great deal about our al
Iies,'' Haig said. 1T was necessary
and right that we should do so to buck
them up all we could while the fight
was the British empire that won this
war.
81 don't wish to particularize. but
you know our Russian friends let us
down and the Italians didn't do a very
great deal then. Our French friends
made the best of it. but then they
really had a very hard job at the be-
