The Queen Confident Of Ultimate Victory

Assurance Voiced by Her Majesty in Portsmouth

London, Feb, 7.

The Queen told a Portsmouth woman yesterday of her confidence in a British victory, "Are we going to win, Your Majesty?" shouted a woman as the King and Queen walked through crowds in one of the worst-bombed areas in Portsmouth during a four-hour visi "Yes, I am sure we are," replied the Queen, "We are all sure of that,"

The King smiled and nodded his head in agreement, The King and Queen spoke to many men and women who had stood up to the bombing, Expressing a hope that they would have a quiet time from now on, the Queen said: 1 think you have all borne it wonderfully well,"—Reuter.
