“NEVER HAS BRUTE FORCE HELD SUCH SWAY”
-SIR S. HOARE
I [British Official Wireless.] (Received 2 p.m.) RUGBY, December 1. Sir Samuel Hoare. Home Secretary, in a speech at Reading, said: “Never in our memory lias brute force held such wide sway.
“Would our fathers and mothers, brought up in more liberal and spacious days of tolerance and humanity, have believed it if they had been told that in 1937 we should be forced, in self-protec-tion, to provide gasmasks for babies? “Liberty in many places has been destroyed, justice travestied, and intolerance tricked out as a virtue. On the other hand, there is the startling contrast of a great and growing body of idealism. “Old and new are thinking more than ever before of a fuller and freer life in which obligations of citizenship would be more universally accepted."
