MANCHESTER,
April
16:
(CP)
Addressing
the
National
Free
Church
Council
In
Manchester
today,
Prime
Minister
Neville
Chamberlain
reiterated
his
confidence
that
the
mad
dog
of
Ilitlerism"
would
be
destroyed.
A
few
days
ago
he
had
declared
that
he
was
ten
times
more
confident
of
the
successful
outcome
of
the
war
than
when
It
had
commenced.
He
was
even
more
confident
now.
A
victory
for
Hhe
German
"master
of
wickedness"
would
mean
the
downfall
of
civilization
but
civilization
was
not
going
down.
The
fight
against
Nazism
was
Just
another
war
between
right
and
wrong,
Mr.
Chamberlain
spoke
of
the
counter-invasion
of
Norway,
declaring
that
Germany
had
made
many
miscalculations
but
no
greater
miscalculation
than
that
of
the
Invasion
of
Scandinavia.
The
Prime
Minister
declared
that
the
German
invasion
of
Scandinavia
showed
that
"no
people,
however
meek,
however
peaceful,
however
harmless
they
may
be,
can
be
the
same
until
this
mad
dog
destroyed."
