DISAPPOINTING
The Daily Mail writes that Mr. Chamberlain's performance Was disappointing and unlikely to re store the shaken confidence of the country in his Government. The paper joins with the Daily Express in giving particular welcome to the extension of Mr. Churchill's
responsibilities which is favourably commented on throughout the
press.
The main feature of all press comment yesterday morning as of Tuesday's debate is the insistence on all hands for the prosecution of the war with the utmost vigour. There is no difference over the Government's aims or its declared 'policy of bringing the war to a
victorious conclusion.'
Criticism arises solely with re- gard to its energy and efficiency in carrying out what is the un- animous will of the nation.
The conclusion reached in The Times leading article may be read into most of the editorial comment of yesterday's press— "We shall not win this war with less than the whole capacity 'for leadership possessed by all Parties together."
