FIRST THINGS FIRST
“ The British people are at their best when there is a real sense of common danger,” said Sir Walter Citrine, general secretary of the Trades Union Congress, in a speech to workers’ delegates. “It is the knack of this inconsistent, illogical race of ours to do the supremely right thing The danger is real, our situation is grav , and the future is obscure, but one thing will prevail, and that is the determination of the common men and women in this country to allow no side wind to disturb them or cause them not to keep their eyes inflexibly on the goal ahead that is, the destruction of the forces which are aimed against our free institution. Put aside your small grumbles and remember the big thing.’
