IN HOUR OF CRISIS
WORLD LOOKS TO MR. MacDONALD.
THE DEFENCES OF BRITAIN.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright Rec. 7.30 p.m. London, April 9.
Mr. J. H. Thomas (Dominion Secretary) speaking in Mr. Ramsay MacDonald’s constituency,/ Seaham Harbour, declared that those who believed in the defence of Britain and in the existence of nations more warlike than Britain “tempted Providence if they left the defences in such a state that they could not even defend our possessions.” The constituents might sneer and jeer at Mr. MacDonald, added Mr. Thomas, but they should be proud in the hour of crisis that the world looked to him to go to Stresa and be big enough to face the facts.
