Your telegram 133, to Secretary of State for Dominion Affairs [1]

I congratulate you on your pertinent and statesmanlike
observations, part of which were incorporated in Mr Chamberlain's
amended speech. [2] My somewhat similar telegram is being repeated
to you in my telegram No. 12. [3] It would be a fatal mistake for
us from many points of view to drift into great world war in a fog
without having made our position clear well in advance. All moral
forces are on our side and if properly mobilised may yet prevent
fatal calamity. United opinion of the Dominions on this occasion
is certain to have good effect on British policy in the future.

All good wishes to you in your great task.
