21.ooo, 900 People Move.
Jack Winocour, head of the Brit.
ish Information Service here, told
members of the District Buildine
and loan League that n 900 00(
people in England have been obliged
to move In the last five years be-
cause their homes were ruined OF
damaged by bombs. That is almost
half the population.
He declared the British people
are justified in seeking to arrange
for their share of foreign trade after
the war. Foreign trade is not
whipped cream for cake but neces-
sary bread and butter for every
man, woman and child In England"
The greatest desire Of the British
people, he said, Is for security In
the future. Hitler had 100 robot
bases placed along the coast which
were capable Of sending 100 bombs
each over England daily, the damage
being unbelievable. What robots
might do after 10 years of develop
ment is most alarming and demands
a peace that cannot and will not be
disrupted, he added.
