FOREIGN POLICY
SHOULD BE ON PLANE ABOVE PARTY ADDRESS BY MR. CHURCHILL AT CAMBRIDGE. TEN TO ONE VOTE FOR MILITARY TRAINING BILL. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 1.5 p.m.) LONDON, May 19. After listening to an address by Mr Winston Churchill, Cambridge undergraduates voted ten to one <in support of the Military Training Bill. Mr Churchill urged tire placing of national defence and foreign policy upon a plane above party and apart from political antagonisms. He added that the Government which allowed Czechoslovakia to be broken and disarmed was surprised and horrified that Herr Hitler marched into Prague, subjugated the Czechs and stole all their belongings. The Government felt that Herr Hitler had deceived and defrauded them, even as did Signor Mussolini, in whom they had confidently trusted. They turned round over a weekend and adopted the very policy that their opponents had for long advocated. It contained the best hopes of peace, and if peace should be broken the best hopes of the Victory and survival of free nations. The Government had now made commitments on all sides which, if resolutely carried out, could ward off all dangers.
