MAINTAINING MORALE
•' When things are going easily with us—when we are on top of the world, either as individuals or as a nation—we British are not in the least tough or aggressive; we are easy-going, unsuspicious, off-putting, and. I'm afraid slack," said Mr W. A. Sinclair in a recent 8.8. C. talk. "We do rise u< an occasion, but i 1 has always '.s»p period in the past, up to now. that after we had risen lo the occasion and dealt with the immediate danger, thei, we slipped back again into our old casual, rather slack ways. We must not let that happen again. This tirri" we have had a bad fright—all of us and I hope we have learned from H The nation, the whole nation, is now mobilising its enormous resources '.>" morale to deal with the present situation, and these must not be demobilised when the war is over for they will be needed still. After the war living is not going to be easy. But, on the other hand there is going to be moro to live for, provided people here can tackle their peace-time difficulties with the same courage thev are showing now."
