...stud the Churchill Cabinet-Ambassador to the U.S. Lord Halifax, Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir Kingsley Wood, War Secretary Captain David Margesson and others-seem to many Britons touched with the odor of Munich.

A Gallup poll recorded that only 29% of the citizens polled felt that their country was making the most of its opportunities, only 44% were satisfied with the Government's war conduct.
