AIM OF GREAT BRITAIN : : KINDRED AND IDEALS SINGLE VOICE OF NATION (British Official Wireless,} Reed. 2 p.m. RUGBY, Oct, 13. Addressing trade union leaders as the guest of the National Trade Union Club, in London, the Secretary of: State for War, Mr. L. Hore Belisha.L said: “It is now established in Britain, and for the whole world to ; know, that this cohesive nation will proceed, with rhythmic tread, to the : attainment of impregnable defences. “Let it be realised that, on this issue, our decisions, whether in the Cabinet or in congress, are inflexible and are at one. We do not halt be-;; tween two opinions. We shall resist aggression on ourselves, our kindred, • and our ideals. We shall make our-L selves fit to do so, both in the;; materials and men. “Democracies do not declare wars l'or aggressive purposes. Their sys-.. tem of public discussion prevents hasty decisions. How important it is therefore, in view of what is at stake, .' that their defences should be secure.”
