I have a fairly good idea of the shape of things to come—at any rate between now and Monday—and, if I may say so with respect, I think that two days is really about the right period for this Debate. If I thought it ought to be more I would willingly consider it, but one can have too long a time as well as too short a time, and my own view is that two days will be about right for this Debate.
