A warning to “weak peoples” not to expect “selfish advantage from Europe’s turmoil” was sounded today by High Commissioner Sir Harold Alfred MacMichael in a broadcast to the country in which he defined the issue of the war as civilization against brute force.
“I have received many protestations of loyalty,” Sir Harold declared, “but to the many hoping for selfish advantage from Europe’s turmoil I point out that weak peoples cannot rely on a brutal clique whose watchwords are force and faithlessness.”
