CONFIDENCE SHAKEN
IN BRITISH POLITICAL LEADERS. SPEECH BY DR. DALTON. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, May 6. Speaking at a Labour Party meeting in Cambridge tonight, Dr. Hugh Dalton, M.P., expressed the view that events in Norway, which had loweted British prestige abroad, had shaken confidence at home —not in the cet - tainty of an ultimate Allied victory, of which he declared his renewed conviction —but in the directive organisation and personnel of the country's war effort. , He said: “Only our fighting men. soldiers, sailors and airmen, have done well in Norway—and they have done magnificently—but our political leaders? as so often before, have been outwitted and outpaced by our adversaries."
