The plea that I want to put forward here is, that it is the bounden duty of the Labour Government, knowing within themselves, in This Gigantic Crisis that is deepening in gloom over the whole country and over other parts of the world as well, that the system is wrong, knowing that nothing less than cutting in upon that system and leading in the direction of changing that system will meet the case—I say it is their bounden duty in this King's Speech to have inserted deliberately that which individually and conscientiously they consider is the essential thing to do, and let the other parties defeat them, and then go to the country in an honourable manner and say, "That is our case, and we fought for it".

It is true that night after night we hear most of the political pundicts telling us that we have the most Gigantic Crisis on our hands, and that once more the workers must pull up their socks, tighten their belts and do all the things workers have had to do in all the crises we have had since the turn of the century.

He will find Another Gigantic Crisis, with the cash already running out and all the promises of budget discipline that were paraded before us last year lying in a heap.

Although we welcome the role that RFA Mounts Bay will play, it is a small contribution to a Gigantic Crisis.
