OUR HANDS TIED
SIR !. HAMILTON ON BRITISH POLICY
FOLLOWING IN FOOTSTEPS OF 1914.
ADVICE TO HOLD UP FIRST SHOT. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received This Day. 9.55 a.m.) LONDON. February 12. Sir lan Hamilton, addressing the British Legion, declared: "We are following closely in the footsteps of 1914. As then, we have so tied our hands that it was impossible honourably to approach any other ally than France. The next step was to place ou’r armed forces at her disposal, resulting in Marshal Joffre and Sir John French wasting all our gun ammunition at Festubert and Loos, when we were trying to carry out a world strategy at the DardencUes. Let us pray that this has completed the parallel, because Herr Hitler and Marshal Goering are far more formidable than the Kaiser and Count Von Moltke were. Wd must hold up the first shot, whether of umbrella, bottle or anything.”
