FOR EMPIRE’S CARCASE.
MR CHURCHILL’S OPINION.
A SQUALID HERESY.
(United Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.55 a.m.) LONDON, September 20.
In his speech at the City Carlton Club, Mr AVinston Churchill said that the rearmament of Germany was the greatest and grimmest fact in the world to-day. Herr Hitler was spending at least six times as much on arms as Britain was. Mr Churchill said: “Vultures are circling, lioping to devour the Empire's carcases, but we are going to disappoint them, despite the lamentable doctrine that as Britain possessed many colonies we should slice up the Empire and provide equal rations to newcomers. I am surprised that no member of the Cabinet has stamped out such a squalid heresy, as once others thought we were prepared to redistribute his Majesty’s dominions there would be such an ugly rush that our inheritance would be torn to pieces. AVe would bo left starving, with the population of a first-class Power on a little island.”
