debate in the House of Commons, he
said he regretted the loss Of his loyal
and trusty colleagues who had beep
purged.
"And who, Of course, had no
greater share of responsibility for
the rest of the administration in the
disasters in the Far East.
Members of the war cabinet are
collectively and individually re-
sponsible for the whole policy of the
country and are alone held account
able for the conduct of the war;" he
said.
Tensely Braced Group
But he admitted that "a more
tensely braced and compact admin
lstration" had been achieved, by the
cabinet changes, to meet new
dangers and difficulties.
He announced that Generalissimo
Chang Kai-Shek, China's leader,
had accepted an invitation to join
he Allied Pacific War Council.
OF the changes, he said it was
,nly right that the government
,hould have been changed and rein
9igorated after two years in office.
He asked for certain amount Of
time in which to submit a scheme
Of postwar reconstruction.
He explained that the need for
reducing the size of the war cabinet
mad led to the elimination of the
post of minister without portfolio
which Arthur Greenwood, a labor
party leader, had held.
(GreenWood's study of postwar
problems had been criticized0 He
recalled that Churchill in the course
Of his career as prime minister had
made Is long speeches in public and
secret and would remain at the serv-
ice of the House from time to time,
to give it general appreciation OF
the wars progress.
CThis was a hint that the Prime
Minister would leave a considerable
part of the work of speaking in
Commons to Sir Stafford Grips, his
new leader of the House,.
No COwardly Course
However tempting it may be at
some time when trouble lies ahead
to step aside and let someone else
take the heavy and repeated blows
that are coming Churchill does not
intend to adopt that coWardly
course" he said.
He admitted that the last two
months had shown a most serious
increase in shipping losses.
Turning to the Far East, he said:
From the moment that Japan at
tackled we set In motion to the Far
East Naval forces, aircraft, troops
and equipment on a sale limited
only by the available ships.
All those supplies were needed In
other theatres of the war"
He estimated that 26 japanese
divisions (anywhere up to 100000
men) were engaged in the South
Pacific, including Burma, Malaga
and the Philippines.
I'VE have not so many" he COM
mented.
1.-THE enemy has for a time waning
command of the sea.
'"I.hey are in command OF the air.
which makes it cosely and difficult
for our air reinforcements to estab-
lish themselves and secure domin-
ance.
I'VE must accept many hard and
adverse experiences which will be
all the more difficult to bear be-
cause they are unaccompanied by
an imminent sense Of danger-that
feeling of being in the business our
selves which brought out the es-
sential qualities of our people year
ago
