This is the theme of a pointed reply by Mr. Beverley Baxter, M.P., to American criticism of Britain. The American people claimed they did not really know what the war was all about. The American Ambassador (Mr. Joseph Kennedy) returned to England after a visit to his own country, and still the American people did not know. Mr. Baxter asks his searching question—then tells what Mr. Kennedy should have told. Mr. Baxter describes the dramatic scene in the House of Commons when Mr. Chamberlain replied to the criticism for the first time. The Ambassador's face flushed; there was a roar of approval throughout the House. But, as the writer concludes: "If candour is wise ... by all means let it be a two-way proposition."
