Mr Mackenzie King, Prime Minister, warned the House of 'Commons that Germany with her forces, machines and materials largely intact presented “an appalling menace.’’ “It is going jto take all we can do and give to (beat them,” he said. He dissociated himself com- | pletely from Mr Hanson’s statement that the situation would presently be graver than previously.
He said that if the Governjment had 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.
