“REVOLTING ACTS”

SPEECH BY MR GREENWOOD CONSCIENCE OF MANKIND OUTRAGED. RISKS THE WORLD IS FACING. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 9.40 a.m.) LONDON, November 13. Mr ‘Arthur Greenwood, M.P. for Wakefield and Deputy-Leader of the Parliamentary Labour Party, in a speech at Doncaster, said that friendly relations between England and Germany must be gravely impaired by the revolting acts of cruelty and the fantastic charges against British politicians. The risks the world was facing today did not arise from any bellicose spirit of Britain, but from those who outraged the conscience of mankind. “I ask Herr Hitler and the German people,” said Mr Greenwood, “to play their part in releasing the world from warlike preparations and in liberating England and Germany for the nobler tasks of peace.”
