LORD HALIFAX
TOUR OF MIDDLE WEST STATEMENT OF BRITISH WAR AIMS. | SOME ISOLATIONIST PICKETING. (By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright! WASHINGTON. May 8. The British Ambassador. Lord Halifax, last night began a seven-day tour of the Middle West. In a speech at Chicago he discussed the objects for which Britain was fighting. He said they were: — (1) A system of international stability based on the principles of freedom rather than frontiers. (2) Economic collaboration among free people. Lord Halifax emphasised that Britain needed United States supplies. How they were got there was the United States' own affair. This last question has been the subject of keen debate here. One member of the House of Representatives has moved for the immediate use of the navy and air force. The "New York Times" and the "New York HeraldTribune" both support convoys. At Chicago Lord Halifax encountered placards reading: "Send Halifax to Halifax” outside his hotel. Lines of women representing anti-war organisations paraded at the hotel entrance. One banner read: “Remember Dunkirk. Beware of the Double Cross.” Another read: “Drive the British from Washington.” Police kept the pickets moving, but did not interfere with their activity.
