MILITARY AND MORAL CONTROL OF THE WORLD Rugby, Sept. 29. The presence of the French Ambassador in the House of Commons for the first time for four years gave fresh importance and new reality to the debate which began yesterday and continued to-day. Mr Arthur Greenwood (Labour) said all felt very deeply a sense of spiritual gratification as they saw British and American troops liberating France from the terrors of the past four years. A new France was being born out of that suffering. He hoped the British and Allied Governments would do all in their power to give the new France sustenance and strength. Referring to the Dumbarton Oaks conference, he said that Britain, the United States, and Russia must agree sooner or later. The adjustment of different conditions and outlook did take time, but if they could get an assurance that for some period after the war the three great Powers would take over the military and moral control of the world they would have gained something. Continuing the debate. Sir Edward Grigg (Conservative) said we should be grateful for four things in.particular : First, the unity of the United Nations in force; second, the extraordinary combination of forces which really depended on political leadership and direction from the highest political quarters; third, the success of our training; and fourth, the "Q” side of operations.
