Let me ask the Secretary of State for War what state we should be in if there was a Crisis of the Kind That We had lately, and 1440 if the enemy began the war by sending a dozen of these Zeppelins over here at night to discharge tons of high explosives on our arsenals and big towns?
We are delighted that the Home Secretary accepts that the duty of Parliament in a Crisis of the Kind That We now face is to maintain a careful balance between public safety and individual freedom.
Again, I fear that that will involve small, meddling schemes that no doubt have good intentions, but which will not solve a Crisis of the Kind That We have got ourselves into.
Sometimes, when we allow bubbles to get bigger than they should be, the result is a financial Crisis of the Kind That We have seen.
