of the timid fawn. I do not think that the Right Honorable 
      Gentleman, the member for Wakefield need to be too anxious lest 
      my Right Honorable friend, the Prime Minister's known diffidence 
      of expression should in any way hamper the case of His Majesty's

Nobody has suggested that this movement at its outset did 
      not enlist under its banner numbers of men who joined for purely 
      patriotic motives. Of course, that is so; but it is no less clear 
      that from the very early days of the movement the leaders who
