PRESENT INACTIVITY
WISHBONES v. BACKBONES "We must not be deluded by the present inactivity. Nor should we minimise or underrate the power of a relentless enemy. Indeed: 'In cases of defence 'tis best to weigh The enemy more mighiy iiian he seems.' "We must always be prepared and ready—and realise this is no time for self-satisfaction or sitting still. Wish-bones are not a satisfactory substitute for backbones". Let us fully appreciate we are engaged in a critical struggle and be always prepared for heavy and serious attacks sterner times; and many perils. That is the way to achieve victory."—Sir Kingslev Wood. ,
