          He said regardless of what Germany does to England 
 
and France, England will never give up al long as he re-
 
mains a power in public life even if England is burnt to
 
the ground. Why, said he, the goverment will move to
 
Canada and take the fleet and fight on. I think this 
 
is something I should follow up. If the Germans carry on 
 
there will be some conversation on what England will even-
 
tually do. Churchill called in the First Lord of the 
 
Admiralty Sinclair and Eden and although they are tough 
 
and mean to fight they are very low tonight.
