"We are not so rigid in our views that we refuse to adapt our methods to changed conditions," commented the Prime Minister, "but all sorts of fancy plans were advocated in the last war, and disillusionment followed.
"We had better win the war first, whilst not forgetting what has got to come after. We will need all our courage, tenacity and patriotism to achieve our war aims."
Amid general cheers Mr. Chamberlain concluded: "When the time comes there will be those of vision who, I trust, may have greater fortune in fulfilling ideals than those who were left to win the peace of the last war."—Reuter.
