Inscriptions recto (debossed): ENGLAND COULD CARRY ON THE
WAR ALONE, DECLARES CHURCHILL
MR. WINSTON SPENCER CHURCHILL
Winston Spencer Churchill, in an interview, recently said that, with
France and Russia both withdrawing from the Allies, England would be able
to carry on the war alone successfully. Continuing he also said:--"Supposing
Germany has friendships and relationships in South America, how can help
reach her from them now? We shall arrange to take precautions fully compati-
ble with the rights of belligerents and the respect due to neutrals. Our ad-
versary perhaps can obtain a few supplies from Turkey and Asia Minor. I
cherish no illusions, for as long as there are neutrals a complete bleekade [?] must
be a chimera Germany will continue to receive a small quantity of that
whereof she has considerable need, but while you and we breathe freely,
thanks to the sea we have kept and can keep open, Germany is like a man
throttled with a heavy gag."
