Last week, in a firesidy chat over the BBC network, Lord Privy Seal Sir Samuel Hoare urged crickety Britons to be themselves. "Buy prudently," he said, "and pay your bills. To run off into the country and leave your tradesman unpaid in town is an act of desertion." To offset the demoralizing effect of the war of nerves, he proposed a "Maginot Line of Faith." Said he, chin up: "You and I then face, with steadfast fortitude and cheerful confidence, the dark nights, the vexations of war, the air raids and the partings, for we know that we shall win and we are certain that we shall see the triumph of faith over the brute force of the new paganism."
