DEFENCE PLANS
MR MACDONALD SUPPORTED FACTS SHOULD BE FACED (United Press Association.) (By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON. April 9. (Received April 10, at 7.30 p.m.) The Secretary of State for the Dominions (Mr J. H. Thomas), speaking in Mr MacDonald’s constituency of Seaham Harbour, declared that those who believed in the defence cf Britain and in the existence of nations more warlike than ours tempted Providence if they left the defences in such a state that they could not even defend their own possessions. Constituents might sneer and jeer at Mr MacDonald, but they should be proud that in the hour of crisis the world looked to him to go to Stresa and should be big enough to face the facts.
