THE OSHAWA TIMES, Wednesday, September 27, 1961 21 U.K. Morale Reported Sagging LONDON (CP) -- The year 1931 was a tough one for Bri tain. A financial crisis had toppled, Ramsay MacDonald's Labor government and brought in a coalition of businessmen The depression was at its height and Britain had 2,000,000] men out of work. f In foreign policy, the British- supported League of Nations] was disintegrating. National! gravis ¢ z dhe Os havo SNCS Now Offers --a sentimental, flag-waving re- view of England's progress over three decades called Cavalcade In it a character uttered this 1 4 i foast, destined to go down in a 1 3 British stage history: "Let's drink to the hope that one day ; 3 ; - this country of ours, which we i ; love so much, will find dignity . ; i and greatness and peace 3 Ta : 4 again." 3 / Author Noel Coward's gin-fizz : : 3 ; of a play spread a euphoric glow through the nation. As a critic later wrote: "It did what was required then with a marriage of sincerity and theatrical shrewdness." Thirty years on--a genera- tion later--a now-prosperous Bri- tain again sinks into a bog of self-doubt. Most people agree national morale is sagging, but few can say why--and fewer still can offer a solution. "We are suffering acutely from a loss of national ideal." says Tom Stacey, a 31-year-old journalist writing in the Sunday Times. "As we have experienced the dwindling of Britain's interna- tional power, her sense of world mission . . . we have become flooded by a national despair." James Cameron, author and newspaper man, writing in the a 2 Queen magazine, thinks future wo 4 historians will surely see a 7 Gl & AGAINST paradox in the way the country S T clung to the name Great Bri-| tain in the 20th century Since the end of the First World War, says Cameron, the British Empire has shrunk from | a third of the world to an "odd| association of republics, self- governing territories, mandates, trusts . . . including 'dollargar- chies' like Canada and the re- mote extensions of Cheltenham like New Zealand all held together by increasingly curious | links of economic self - Interest and misty sentiment." The average Briton finds it hard to be articulate about this malaise but many feel it has afflicted the country since the| shortive bid for gunboat glory| at Suez.
