“WORSE THAN IN 1914”
European Situation WAR MINISTER’S GRAVE VIEW (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, June 15. “Nobody with the slightest knowledge will deny that the situation in Europe is far worse than in 1914,” said the Secretary of State for War (Major A. Duff Cooper) at a trade luncheon. “Yet we are joking, laughing and refusing to face facts, and are allowing people to preach that it is wicked to defend women and children from gas attacks. We are told that we are frightening people. I think it is the duty of those in authority to frighten people.”
