F.a.d. .240.40 L o n d o n - en lisch, The Turkish press takes an increasingly determined stance against the German action a f the Balkans, A newspaper writes: There is only one language that we cannot understand, the language of the threat and something that we do not fear, the new order. The more difficult the task, the greater our determination. The greater our courage and the stronger our will. - The British Secretary of State at the Ministry of Aviation, Captain Balfour, explained: There are four reasons why England can view the present situation as being reasonable: 1.) No military force has proven to be a more annual challenge against the evil forces of National Socialism than our Air Force. 2.) In the course of the last 2 months we have won one of the greatest victories of this war. 3.) The difference between our and the German type of warfare. 4.) Every day material assistance increases and we receive planes and engines of the best types and first quality. Air victories are not the question of the sinking of ships, of the slaughter of armies, they appear in the gradual overcoming of the opposing air forces. First, the opposing mass attacks of bombers accompanied by hunters were directed against the most important points of our defense. However, we inflicted such great losses on them that they now abandoned these tactics to indiscriminate bombings on the civilian population. London is currently in the forefront of the Kampi series. The material damage is considerable, but in this way Germany cannot conceive of war. In their attacks on Germany, our Luftwaffe aims to destroy the more vitally important ones. Fleet and Jndustrie centres, the Germans aim to break the fighting spirit of our population. As long as the Germans are the militants. In vain they will fight against the invincible spirit of the undefeated people, during which time our forces will deal with real tasks that will bring us closer to victory. The coming finşter winter evenings and the growing deprivations of Peutschland will increase the dissatisfaction and war fatigue of the German people, as we grow stronger from month to month in the air, the sea and the countryside. Jm Lower House today the Secretary of State Butler addressed a warning to the Vichy government as that it should not take any hostile action against England, Butler was asked g if the government is considering measures against the forces under the Vichi government and have for some time initiated a systematic credit bard from Gibraltar. Butler replied that the House can be convinced that we can deal with any further attacks by the Vichy government. *US Minister Boudoin hastened to assure himself that the government will not thank you for joining in action against England. - 2 -
