PRIME MINISTER UNDER NO ILLUSIONS

By “CIVIS”

THE recent speech of the Prime Minister so far from showing any evidence of weariness or the heavy bur- den of office, was marked by great vigour, and a clear sense of the issues that were involved.

It is those lines of communication In the North Sea which Germany hopes to destroy, thus serving the double purpose of shutting off the Danish and Scandinavian supplies to Britain and then compelling these countries to direct the trade to Ger- many which is surely in need of these materials.
