maze but I can assure that Committee it is not without plan. 
      The story of events in Greece has been told so fully in the newspapers 
      that I shall not attempt a chronological or descriptive account-(Interruption). 
      I beg that I may be interrupted. Every two or three minutes the 
      Honorable member for West Fife (Mr. Gallacher) who receives to 
      assert himself by making some half-audible and occasionally partially-intelligent 
      interruption. I do not think that is in accordance with the wish 
        of the Committee or the conditions of our debate.   
 
                                                            
 
 
I said that I shoul %d not attempt a long chronological account 
      but there is no case in my experience certainly not in my war-time 
      experience where a British government has been so maligned and 
      its motives so traduced in our own country by important organs 
      of the press or among our own people. That this should be done 
      amid the perils of this war now at its climax has filled me with 
      surprise and sorrow. It bodes ill for the future in which the 
      life and strength of Britain compared to other powers will be 
      tested to the full not only in the war but in the aftermath of 
      war. How can we wonder and still less how can we complain of 
      the attitude of hostile or indifferent newspapers in the United 
      States
