VO: "Into every highway and byway of British life go 500,000 league union canvassers, sounding public opinion in the greatest unofficial popular vote ever undertaken in any country. Even as Mussolini's troops are massing for the conquest of Ethiopia, the British vote against war is piling up, a vote which is to change Britain's foreign policy... Before hostilities actually begin in Ethiopia, the amazing total is announced: 11 million, 600,000 votes." | |
