DUFF COOPER’S VIEW OF WAR POSITION
Like That Of March, 1918 LONDON, May L't 'l'he Minister of Information, Mr. A. Duff Cooper, addressing British and Empire editors, said the present was not the time for undue optimism, but rather for restrained confidence. “The present position,” he said, “is analogous to our position in March, 1918, when Germany was staking all on an offensive, and when Earl Haig issued the famous ‘backs to the wall’ order. Every person who can help the Empire must do so.” Mr. Cooper emphasized the importance of the Pope’s blessing of the Belgian and Dutch cause. "Their cause is ours.” he said. "Therefore, a man so logical as the Pope must realize that he is blessing our cause.”
