POLITICAL DOUBTS
HEART-SEARCHING IN BRITAIN. The British people are today facing with mingled emotions a future which they know to be difficult and even dangerous, says the “Round Table.’’ Profoundly thankful for the respite that the Prime Minister won at Munich, shocked by the inadequacy of our defences, and convinced that new methods and new men must be found, longing for appeasement and yet sceptical as to the policy, eager to serve but uncertain how to do it, the nation is asking for a lead without knowing from where a lead is to come. It is dissatisfied with the National Government, finding the epithet misleading and the personnel as a whole unimpressive. Yet the nation is as far removed as ever from a belief in the nostrums of Socialism or in the policy with which the Opposition until recently has been identified, the policy of pugnacity from weakness. Whatever«were the result of a general election now or in the near future, the one certain prognostication is that the new Parliament would be chosen with no glow of conviction on any policy that has yet been disclosed to the country. •
