Scope and Contents

Letter from Desmond Morton, Crookham Hill, Edenbridge, Kent, to WSC, congratulations on speech in the House of Commons on German re-armament, commenting that Germany had not liked the speech "but resentfully admired it in private". Also commenting that League of Nations sanctions were becoming a mockery, and that although Britain should continue to support the League it should not overrate the League's power "when opposed to that of Germany whose strength and cunning, compared with Italy, are the attributes of a Bengal tiger compared with those of a common tom-cat (and not even a ginger one either!)".
