PPROACHING the Yuletide, in the third year of war-we are mindful that Christmas has not lost its meaning to the Free Peoples of the World.

This blessing we owe to our great Empire, our faithful Allies, to our Airmen, our Sailors and our Soldiers for their gallant defence of our

way of life, many of whom have paid the supreme sacri- fice.

Our contribution to the great cause is complete adherence to our Governmcnfs regula- tions, and the sacrifice, no llllitiCl‘ how great, must be met With unflinching fortitude.

Willi confidence in the destiny oi our peoples, and good wishes for Victory and Peace, we greet tilc New Year.
