ly toured this biggest British naval
base for three hours today, accom-
panied by Harry Hopkins and led
dockyard workers in a vociferous
three cheers for the President of
the United States.
To the Portsmouth city fathers
he introduced Mr.. Hopkins as 'the
envoy and friend of President Roose-
welt, that great statesman and friend
of freedom and democracy" and
added.
"One cannot help feeling enor-
mously encouraged by the spirit of
the ever-growing movement of aid
to Britain which we see laying hold
of the mighty masses of the United
States"
Workers Respond With Roar.
Standing in front of a ship, the
Prime Minister then called for the
three cheers for Mr.. Roosevelt. The
workers responded with a roar of
Hip, hip, hoorays."
At one pause on his tour, Mr..
Churchill sacrificed half of one of
his famous cigars to a dockyard
worker, who decided he'd like it as
a souvenir.
With Mr.. Hopkins and Mrs,
Churchill, the Prime Minister
climbed across the docks and delved
through the bomb-hit areas of the

Fascists were forced to bring in the
Nazis to rescue and rule them.
"All this gives us encouragement
to face the long, hard ordeals which
lie before us, but to which we shall
not be found unequal. We shall
come through. We cannot tell when,
we cannot tell how, but we'll come
through. When we have done
So we shall have the right to say
that we live in an age that in all
the long history of Britain was the
most filled with glorious achieve
ments and the most graced by
duties done"
