“APPALLING MENACE"
GERMAN STRENGTH INTACT [BY CABLE. —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] (Recd. Dec. 3, 1.30 p.m.) OTTAWA, December 2. Mr. Mackenzie King warned the Commons that Germany, with forces, machines and materials largely intact, presented an “appalling menace. It is going to take all we can do and give to beat them.” He said that he dissociated himself completely from Mr. Hanson’s (Opposition Leader) statement that the situation at present was graver than previously. He said that if the Government yielded to public demand earlier in the year, and sent thousands of men overseas, it would only have saddled Britain with an additional burden. Instead a balanced programme of war production, coincident with the raising of army, naval and air forces, was worked out.
