BRITAIN READY
STEADINESS AT ZERO HOUR. With a steadiness and self-control never 'surpassed in the country’s history, Britain was yesterday (Friday, September 1), making final preparations for the war that is being forced upon her by what the Prime Minister, in his speech to the House, rightly called the ‘'senseless ambitions” of the German Fuehrer, writes Mr G. Ward Price in the "Daily Mail.” There was not an anxious look nor a scared word among the men and women of the capital, and throughout the land the same cool, collected courage was everywhere displayed. Trusting and trusted, the British people left King, Cabinet and Commons to decree the measures necessary to deal with Germany’s sudden. attack on Poland, and went cjuietly about her daily tasks. For all potential enemies this national calm is ominous. It has already exploded the complacent belief of the Dictator States that a democratic country must necessarily be decadent and disorganised.
