London, Feb, 10.
'ONTRAST between France and Great Britain "welded into one mighty nation for the defence of liberty," against the "uneasy partnership" of Soviet Russia and Getmany, was made in a speech by Sir Kingsley Wood, Secretary of State for Air, at Bristol today, in the weekly series of Ministerial statements, He sincerely regretted the inconvenience and hardship which the use of the economic weapon inflicted upon neutrals.
The Government, he declared, was doing its best to reduce inconvenience to a minimum, but in the meantime he urged neutrals to ponder over the alternative of the whole of Europe suffering the unspeakable horrors which were being perpetrated on the unhappy Polish people.
