It is no good disguising the truth. Day by day it beats us. We, on the contrary, no longer speak even with two voices. We speak with babble of voices.

I want to suggest that we have come to a point when it is im- perative that, unless we are to experience a disaster that may involve the whole world, we should speak now with. a single voice... dropping even the discredited two- voice ambiguity of 1918-and soy plainly what we have in our hearts about this war.
Since this war broke out, ja number of us have been agitating for a plain statement of our wor aims. Now, after nearly a year of war, we still fight on with no clear convincing definition of, what it is we fighting for and what it is all **about-akita mar 2

Now I want to urge the necessity of putting an end to all this forthwith.

AND upon one thing in the name of this unified face we have to present to the world, I want to speak plainly to the patriotic gentlemen of the old Conservative Party.
The whole world doubts how far the spirit of social reaction may not still deflect our country from its championship of human freedom. There is only one way of dispell-
