By PETER LYNE

LONDON.--Complacency appears to be deemed SHOWN R.A.F.

Britain's greatest danger at the present stage of the war, judging from the extent to which stress on [ the seriousness of the task of defeating. Germany is suddenly being redoubled here. The development can hardly be dissociated from the secret session of Parliament when war supplies were discussed and the Government faced a barrage of questions on the effectiveness, of the war effort,

The vehemence with which radio listeners are urged to face the fact, "we are fighting for our lives and for our freedom" struck an un- usually highpitched_note_compared with the normal calm tone of British radiocasts.

Maj. Gen. Sir Ernest Swinton in his weekly review of the war altuation was the BBC spokes- man, but a similar warning line has been taken. by Mr. Anthony Eden and Sir Arthur Salter in speceli since Parliament's secret ressions and by newspaper writers, notably Mr. Vernon Bartlett, M.P., and Mr. G. Ward Price, expert on Germany.

on three objectives:" First, nothing should distract the British from win- ning the war; second, Anglo-French co-operation should be still further extended during the war and shouir! be fully maintained afterward; third, co-operation between members of the British Commonwealth should be brought closer and closer.

At the same Junch Sir Arthur stressed the necessity of Britaln making a much greater economic effort which, he said, would prove the deciding factor in the

Mr. Bartlett, in the first article since the emerged from behind the bolted doors which keptTMstrange"s away from the Commons secret sessions says in the News Chronicle, "It lan't true that we can win the war by sitting still, waiting for fissure to turn into a breach and for the whole Nazl edifice to grumble into ruins. The greatest danger to victory to-day is our own complacency about it."

Further support for the view that the British people are taking the wor too complacently comes from Mr. Price, who, writing in the Daily Mail contends that, too much money and energy are being wasted in the crowded theatres, restaurants, and night clubs of London and the chief provincial cities. Further he alleges wasteful burenuerafic methods, and slack enforcement of such mensures as gasoleño restriction, under which i big cars carrying one person are seen heading to the city daily.

On the other hand authorities are faced with a serious problem keeping up the morale threatened by the blackout and other restrictions, by the boredom and irritation engendered by the Immense amount at present of useless work of manning innumerable antiaircraft guns, air rald posts, and firefighting appliances Therefore any

The Inactivity which now marke warfare on the western front ellelled even the comment of Prime Minister Noville Chamberlain, « who, on his visit to the Maginot Line, declared, "it is a matter of faste, but personally I prefer to be bored rather than bombed."
