WARNING AGAINST TOO FREQUENT CHANGES
(Rec. 9.55 p.m.) LONDON, Feb. 28. “It would be hypocrisy on my part to pretend I do not mind leaving the War Office,” declared Captain David Margesson, the former Secretary for War, in a speech. “However, public opinion demanded that there should be changes. The Prime Minister met the demand and changes were made. I warn you that if changes are to be made every time we take a knock, then Britain’s democracy will follow in the footsteps of France.” No administration could withstand the blusters of every illwind that blew. Governments rose and fell with monotonous regularity until no one could gain sufficient support to save France from humiliation and slavery.
