MORAL DEBT
Britain’s Stand For World LONDON, September 22. Dr. Hugh Dalton (Chancellor of the Exchequer), in a speech at Sheffield, said there was a gj-eat moral debt owing to Britain, who, for the sake of the world stood alone and unafraid through the dark, early days of the war. “We desire to co-operate to the full with the rest of the United Nations,” he said, “but it must be co-operation on fair and equal terms. We face great difficulties, but we are the sort of people who overcame them. We face the future with our heads high. We shall pay our way. “It is our plain duty to increase exports as rapidly as possible to all markets open to us throughout the world,” said Dr. Dalton. “We must save dollars, which means that we must cut down without delay all imports requiring dollar expenditure, tinless they are absolutely vital. The Government has already taken steps to this end.”
