Sorrow has had its part in fostering this love of our Empire. ~ Together the high and the lowly have made their sacrifices that Together we have main- tained our faith in Britain in spite of financial strain, in spite of tragedy i in the royal household; and our reward has been to see her emerge more firmly established as 'leader among the nations; as exponent of "British fair play."
