Speaks
Encouragingly
in
Ottawa
House
OTTAWA,
December

(Canadian
Press)
Prime
Minister
William
Lyon
Mackenzie
King
told
the
House
of
Commons
yesterday
that
the
position
of
Great
Britain,
while
still
serious,
was
definitely
superior
to
the
position
at
the
time
of
the
fail
of
France
or
at
any
time
since.
He
said
that
the
war
would
be
one
of
years
and
there
would
inevitably
be
periods
of
sunshine
and
shadow
but
It
would
be
unwise
to
become
unduly
depressed
or
elated
over
any
single
set
of
circumstances.
Premier
King
said
it
was
the
duty
of
the
'government
to
view
the
war
steadily
and,
in
doing
so
the
government
was,
louowmg
;
a
policy
of

in
co-opera-
lion

govern-'
ment
for
