DURATION OF WAR
BRITISH MINISTER’S VIEW. DECISIVE EVENTS EXPECTED THIS YEAR. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, January 9. The Minister of Labour and National Service, Mr Ernest Brown, speaking at Edinburgh expressed the view that events which will decide the war would take place this year. However, they might not be worked out to victorious results in 1940. In reviewing the “balance-sheet” of the war, Mr Brown said that while German submarine work had been made difficult the Germany navy seemed reluctant to leave harbour. One great difference between 1.914 and 1940 was that at present Germany was being run by ruthless men and the nation was being driven to desperation by tyrants who knew no limit except their own desperate aims.
