Cabinet discuss what the Foreign Secretary is going to say

Posted on August 3rd, 1914 by admin

Cabinet discuss what the Foreign Secretary is going to say to the House of Commons. Four cabinet members have announced their resignations.

Foreign Secretary tells the House of Commons Britain cannot stand aside and see Belgium lose her neutrality and France defeated. It would mean the whole of the continent falling under the control of a single power.

A note from the Belgian legation summarises the German ultimatum and declares that Belgium has rejected the ultimatum and is resolved to repel aggression by all possible means.
