CHANGE OF POLICY
Encouragment may be taken from Sir Bolton's cryptic observa- tlon that Britain's moral strength Stubbs Rd. will be put to the test by the new proposals. The test will probably bo survived without any difficulty, The Cabinet have probably come round to a way of thinking that the public mind has encountered and overcome long since, Public opinion is already quite certain of that much, that peace will never be secured by vagueness, weak ness or irresolution, whether the alternative is disarmament rearmament. And if the Cabinet has finished with well-intentioned delusions, then the memorandum must contain a demonstration of a change of policy and important concessions to the German view point.
