"At every critical moment in this story of the Empire the example set by the Government and people of the mother country has a great and immediate effect throughout the Dominions and dependencies. The example set in this country of national unity and common effort to meet an unprecedented danger has given an inspiring lead which is everywhere being followed."

In examining international reaction to Leopold's defection, which the Italians. find justified and which it says "has only welded those who still defend the cause of liberty in a yet firmer resolve to endure until final victory has been reached," "The Times" quotes Signor Mussolini's 1914 Parma speech.
