"I have been contemplating a public statement to the effect that the propaganda in favour of unilateralism has reached, or is about to reach, a point where further effectiveness is not likely to be secured except by means of direct action on a very considerable scale. I had intended to make a pronouncement in this sense in Trafalgar Square on Sept 24, but it has been represented to me that you might consider such a pronouncement from me prejudicial to the vote of Scarborough where I ardently hope that you will secure an unequivocal victory."
