WINNING WAR WILL BE NO EASY TASK, BRITISH PEOPLE WARNED Our SHADOW Human Escalator'

Complacency Is

Greatest Danger

To Save Raid

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

the compared with 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 speech since Parliament's secret sessions and by newspaper writers, hotably Mr. Vernon Bartlett, M.P., and Mr. G. Ward Price, expert on Germany.

Sub. Victims

Must Sheer Red Tapo

"If we are to beat Germany," Sir Ernest sald, we have got to tako things more seriously than we are doing. We have got to put our house in order. We have got to pre- vent overlapping in our effort and the waste of money. We have to sheer through red tape and get a move on. May we do it before it is too late. .Loo

The red light is at danger and I repeat with all the seriousness of which I am capable the words I spoke 15 minutes ago, 'We are light- ing for our lives and for our free- dom.' I add, once we realize that, | we are bound to win."

The appeal for no belittling of the war task and no underrating of the Nazi war machine was made by Mr. Edon at a literary lunch organized by Foyle's Book Shop, presided over by Viscount Hallux and attended by many prominent persons among the 1,200 guests.

Taking as his text "Towards Lasting Peace," Mr. Eden based hopes 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 shoul be fully maintained afterward; third, co-operation between members of the British Commonwealth should be brought closer and closer,

At the same lunch Sir Arthur stressed the recessity of Britain making a much greater economic effort which, he sald, would prove the deciding factor in the war, and R. C. K. Ensor, Oxford historian, im- pressed on the audience the dangers of facing such an enemy as Hitler.

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

Dr. Matthews went on to discuss the question of the survival of the actual personality of a human being after death. He said he was sympathy with the theory.
