-3 - 128 C hurchill gave a speech today in the House of Commons: ( Excerpt ) We have a long way to go before us. Ever have the nation never withheld the shadows of our dangers and troubles, for they persist and I know that in a shaky situation the characteristics of the British people are most shining. Until now, the war between a German armed to the teeth and a British empire armed only half or only a quarter of it has been waged. We did not cut off so badly. With full confidence and hope, I look forward to the time when we ourselves will be just as well armed, even better than our opponent. I see the time coming when the weapons arsenals, exercise places and scientists of the British world pond will lead us to the material supremacy that will bring us victory and salvation for all humanity in association with the faithfulness of nutty hearts. I am sure the house will understand it if I do not make an attempt to deal with the war situation. I think it's not the moment to make statements about the war in the Mediterranean and Africa, the whole war is now going on there and on both friars we have the greatest Jnteresse. First, we had to deal with the numerical superiority of the enemy in our defense in Egypt and Suez. We can now expect our husband to stand when the enemy forces attack, if they attack at all. Now we are witnessing the tepferen uplift of the Greek nation. Although a surprising heavy blow has been inflicted on her, she has almost completely cleaned her soil from the enemy. We have to fight at these two locations and I can only say that we will do our utmost. Actions, not hosts, are expected from us, and I can hope that we will be able to get valuable help from our ever-stricken sources of hiif Greece and to fulfil our obligations against Egypt by protecting the important line of the Suez Canal. - The English King George declared today in a speech: The present K eg is not only a struggle between different nations, but it has emerged from the clash funda - mentally opposite Jdeen. We will not waver and will not lay down our weapons until the high goal that we have set ourselves has been achieved and we have dedicated ourselves to faith. (Excerpt!) twn te t toe ww ahe w w e o d e w w Halifax declared today: In this war it is essential to have the right perspective. If one looks at him with the eyes of the little neighbours of Germany, he must appear to all like a cruel Moloch. But if he is looked at from our Jnselreich, by a people who have the feeling of security in the consciousness that the brit. People's family and the United States and our other allies will cover their backs, and only then will he, this war, be seen in the right perspective. Germany is a strong and determined enemy, but it has failed its main goal. His jnvasion plans have been thwarted and he has therefore tried to force vns to give up by submarines and mine laying. 4-
