"I delivered a report to it with the problems of the Norway, therefore it believed that if we continued thus, we would lose the war." "It delivered it Herbert to it Morrison, to open the opposition, in that afternoon." "The debate on the Norway was only decisive debate that attended, in 34 years as member of the House of the Common ones, therefore one was about the only division that it provoked the fall of a government." "During about one year before the debate, it had one to accumulate of bitterness e anxiety in the people that they wanted that Great-Britain of this everything for everything and defeated Hitler." "It was a fierce debate, not only of the part of working opposition, but also of the conservatives." "They felt that all the war behavior it could not be in charge of a man that already they had attacked, aquando of Munique, e that recognized not to be a war leader by its very nature." "The temperature went going up e Herbert Morrison, of the members of labor party, it announced that we went to divide us in the end of the debate, against the government." "It had a group of action presided over for Clement Davies, leader of the liberal ones, e I age the secretary."

"I left that meeting in a great tension." "However, Churchill the Government defended strong." "One more time he was ironic, therefore the debate was on the Norway, e the Norway is a series of disasters, of which, even so it could not to have had guilt, perhaps therefore they were inevitable, e I believe that it had been," "it was directly responsible, while minister of the Navy." "Amery pronounced one formidable speech, where Cromwell cited:" ""Already stays have much time for the good here that you made." "For God, IDE you."" "Later, Lloyd George made the speech devastador I heard than it to pronounce, e finished, saying Chamberlain:" ""It asked for sacrifice to the country, but it has a sacrifice more necessary that any another one:" "the sacrifice of its proper Government. "" "When the result was announced, the majority conservative fell for 80 e this meant the fall of the government." "I looked at for Chamberlain, he seems I am seeing that it, pale." "It asks for friendship to its friends e had not given to it." "It left the room, as a figure tapeworm." "I had much penalty of it, therefore both we knew that it was finished." "Chamberlain was for the room thinking if he would be possible to continue." "In the following day it only perceived that it arrives at the end." "In this day, the employees of the Parliament, I believe, they had explained to it that it could have been worse, but who was with it it perceived the gravity of the situation." "During days 9 and 10 of May, it had great doubts how much to the successor of Chamberlain." "The Working Party left clearly that, if it had a coalition one, that in that height all they judged necessary, they would refuse Chamberlain." "Thus, it had that to opt between Churchill and Halifax." "Halifax was the successor most obvious, the reliable man of Chamberlain." "But it has 40 years almost that none lord arrived the first-minister." "How much to its rival..." "Churchill was seen with great diffidence for the instituted power." "All people, in nº10 of Downing Street and in Whitehall, members of the Cabinet and in many sectors of the party conservative, the Churchills were afraid." "They considered it an adventurer." "They remembered Gallipoli." "They did not want to see the country, at the moment more critical of all its history, it delivers somebody capable thing of the things extraordinariest e of enveredar for the adventures more surprising." "E after all, all had perceived that the Norway, that one fiasco of that we waited to recoup, or of that we are safe in the last one instant, is idea of Churchill." "It was an excellent idea, but not it resulted, as Gallipoli." "Thus, it was with a certainty distrust of Churchill that the majority of the people in the government e in Whitehall if capsized for Halifax." "Halifax was safe." "It was intelligent, frequentara the Fellow of All Souls." "It had an unquestioned charm e an absolute integrity." "Perhaps E expected that it called it to the king." "The working party approached me, Hugh Dalton and Herbert Morrison, e both had been disclosed in favor of Halifax." "They found that Halifax it had that to go up to the power." "They wanted that Churchill directed the war, under the command of Halifax." "It was an idea that it did not please the Halifax." "I remember to say me to Churchill that the critical moment arrived when Chamberlain asked for it to it e the Halifax that was to the Cabinet." "E had been the three there." "Halifax was seated to the side of Chamberlain, that one turned over for Churchill and it said:" ""Winston, sees some reason so that, in century XX, a first-minister cannot to be in the House of lords? "" "Churchill judged that if he dealt with a trap, therefore if it answered:" ""I do not see reason some"," "Chamberlain if would come back for Halifax and he would say:" ""In this in case that, if the king to ask for my opinion, I suggest you. "" "On the other hand, it would have been very difficult Churchill to say that yes, therefore in this in case that, it would be the only one alternative." "Thus, it turned coasts, it contemplated the Horse Guards Parade e did not answer to the question." "I believe that, to a large extent, the decision was taken by Halifax, that one complained of stomach aches, one hour or two before the meeting, e that did not want to be first-minister, whereas the man who was determined to be it she was Churchill." "Of dawn, the Germans had advanced for Holland, Belgium and Luxemburg." "Finally, the war was arriving much close to Great-Britain." "While the allies if they prepared for the battle," "Chamberlain was to the Palace to resign and advised the king  to invite Churchill." "Churchill would be a risk e when one is at a critical moment of the life, is not good for running risks." "Thus, it was with great desperation that all we knew, in the night of 10 of May, that the king convokes Churchill."
