Once more a clamor was made for decisive action to beat Hitler's blitz legions to the punch. Britain's former war secretary Leslie Hore-Belisha, in a speech bitterly assailing Prime Minister Churchill's conduct of the war, told an audience in Edinburgh, Scotland: "We must win this war and we will back any government that will go all out to win it. We must realize, however, that you cannot win a 1941 war at a 1914 pace. "We suffer defeat after defeat, and always for the same reason lack of appreciation, lack of pre paration and imperfect execution of the project. Each reverse is glossed over . . . and the narcotic of false confidence in the future Is invariably applied."
