STRONGER RESOLUTION.
PROSECUTION OF WAR. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, May 9. Mr Herliert Morrison (Labour) in a speech, said that for once in their lives the Berlin propagandists had drawn the right conclusion; which was that ‘ the Parliamentary debate just concluded indicated not the weakening but the strengthening of the British resolution to prosecute the . war to a successful conclusion. • The choice before the country was not a clean choice between peace and war, but between the triumph of the forces of Democracy, sweetness, and light, and that of the forces of dictatorship, cruelty, and darkness. “Parliament’s great inquest has been held,” he said. “The very fact of the debate was an indication of the virtues of Democracy in checking inefficiency of government. Germany will yet suffer from its people having no such opportunity. The Parliamentary division has taken place. It is now for Mr Chamberlain and his colleagues to consider and decide upon what their duty to the country demands.”
