Over-Optimism And Panic Do Disservice
(Received 10 a.m.) LONDON, January 26. The chancellor of the Duchy of Lan-. caster, Earl Winterton, speaking at Worthing, said people who said war was inevitable and would come within a few weeks or months were doing no good to their country, as well as making a wholly inaccurate statement. On the other hand, those who confidently asserted that they knew there would be no war of a major acter in 1939 were being equally inaccurate, for the simple reason that no one could know in the present unsettled state of the world what might happen. .Britain and the British Empire were seeking to avoid war by peace and appeasement,, and at the same time were prepared for any eventuality.
