WHAT IS BRITAIN'S POLICY?

(Continued from Page G.)

Itself to help reduce any aggressor to a state of Impotence.

☆

PEOPLE who have recently dwelt in, or even passed through Nus- sin, have not found it such a terrible country, indeed I am told that there is more freedom there to-day than there is in Germany.

I do not for a moment suggest that Britain should embrace foreign doctrines; that would be too absurd for words. We can maintain our own individuality and still co-operate with those who will stand up for Peace, so why should we not ce- operate with Russia in the state of emergency in which we have been forced to-day?

It is no good disguising the facts, There are many disquieting aspects In the conduct of Briush affairs to- day which many people do not like. The B.B.C. refusal to broadcast the speech by the Duke of Windsor hos left unpleasant tasto in the

mouth, I still know that the Duke would malte the finest Ambassador 22,420,000 bushels; Britain could have, purely in the sense of a Minister of Peace; and try 403%/40% for one moment to visualso the out- 51/00% B14/01
