(Independent Cable Service.)
(Received July 3, 1 p.m.)
LONDON, July 2. Air-Marshal Lord Trenchard, in a speech at Stirling, said:— "The time has come to say that this living under continual threats of aggression must stop. We have had enough of it. Britain has given way on this and that in order to preserve peace, but there comes a time' when the people say: 'This must stop.' That time has come now. "Not" only do we mean to fight if there is any more aggression, but we have the power now to do so. Our Army, Navy, and Air Force are more powerful than they have ever been in i peace time. Woe betide those who! do not believe it." . Sir Stafford.Cripps, backing up Lord J Halifax's speech, said: "We will not tolerate domination by others, loss of our liberties, or dictation ,in our affairs, and if such is attempted we are now ready as a united nation to defend our- | selves, and to that end we will gather jail the allies and resources that are [ available."
