yesterday resulted in another 800
prisoners, a battery of artillery, being
captured. And on the same day,
there in,Jarabub Oasis, west of silva
Oasis, and very important on desert
flank, Australian cavalry squadron
charged sword in hand and gathered
both guns and transport as its
trophy.
"One cannot say that the Italians
have shown high fighting spirit
or quality in this battle But per-
haps their hearts are not in their
work"
This is the first time in the desert
that we have had equal equipment
and we are still only a half-armed
nation fighting fully armed nation,
which has already passed the satura-
ton point in its armamenus.
Well-Armed in 1941.
But in 1941 we shall become a
Well-armed nation, too, and that will
open possibilities which have not
been open to us up to the present.
1T takes three to four years to put
industries of a country on a war
basis. The Germans reached the
eliminating point at the end of
last year and when we ourselves
were still only in the second year,
but by efforts now being made and
by great supplies which are reach
ing and will reach us from the
United States, we hope we shall be-
come we'll armed in 1941."
He added that in 194l mo doubt
we shall find opportunities of using
our land forces, if not in defense of
this island, in other theaters on
terms of moderate equality in num-
bers and equipment"
David Lloyd George, Britain's
World War Prime Minister, wept
as he paid tribute to Lord Lothian,
who was his secretary at the Ver-
sailleS peace conference, but at the
conclusion he fiercely cried 1T is
time to press on against Italians" 4"
He asserted the great revelation"
Of the Libyan attack is that the
Italians hearts clearly are not in
the job"
Il hope that by time we meet
again. Lloyd George concluded
I'VE shall be able to congratulate
the Prime Minister on having elimi-
mated the more squalid of his op-
ponents.'
Cites Work Stoppages.
Labor Minister Ernest Bevin an
nounced there have been STOP
pages of work in munitions factories
in breach of agreed procedure for
dealing with labor disputes in Ger
tain cases as part of a settled pol
icy. He added that time lost has
been exceedingly small and having
regard to abnormal circumstances
general position gives renewed con-
fldence in operation of voluntary
joint collective machinery"
Laborite Ernest Thurtle said the
general public bitterly resented
these Communist efforts to let down
our fighting men"
"If legal repressions were applied
too readily" Bevin replied, with
out utilizing what is most powerful
force in this country-voluntary dis
cipline of organized bodies-I might
create worse condition than I seek
to remedy.
Time lost by disputes in last II
months has been lower than at any
period for last so years"

II was six weeks ago that Wendell

considerable amusement and some
indignation that o corporation ex-

Speeches Wanted
Bids TOR speeches arrived some
what faster than they could be dis

And there was terrific newspaper

wondering yet what hit them ano

The offer was sensational, but the
public reaction was favorable. Final
ly, after six years OF bitterness, dur
Ing which Willkie charged the gov.

diture OF $4,000, 900, 900 for plant re-

attending an almost gay ceremony
