BRITISH-SOVIET RELATIONS
GENERAL MORGAN’S VIEW LONDON, Feb. 21. Britain was now at war with an enemy far more formidable than Germany and Japan ever could be, said Lieutenant-General Sir Frederick Morgan, who was General Eisenhower’s Chief of the Joint Staff, speaking to the London Publicity Club. “It is not for the time being a matter of formal armed conflict,” he added. “The little homely radio set is the most powerful weapon in the world, and always will be. The real objective is the mind, heart, and head of every man, woman and child.” General Morgan added that Russia’s pattern of conquest was far more subtle than Germany’s. “We are under the shadow of conquest. Let’s make no bones about that. The forces hearing down on us are greater, better organised, and better articulated than any we have met before.”
Commenting on the United Nations, General Morgan said: “There is only one thing wrong with the United Nations. It’s dead but it won’t lie down.”
