Manchukuo, Ethiopia, Spain, Czecho-
Slovakia-each successive capitulation
was accompanied by promise of peace
and good will from the aggressors. The
dictators have always seized upon the
flimsiest excuses to break their pledges
when they were ready for the next
swallow, hence the catastrophe that
overwhelmed freedom on the continent
of Europe.
1t is incredible that this last sur
render should have been planned and
executed without any previous consulta-
tion with either America or Russia.
Both Of these countries habitually used
the Burma road for transit Of goods
to and from China. It was their best
and recently their sole access to that
vast region where Chinese independence
still survives. This infamous abandon
ment Of China has naturally adversely
affected public opinion in two great
countries whose friendship and good will
were vital to us in the critical position
In which we were placed.
It is piece Of short-sighted stupidity;
it is the price we are paying for re-
tention of prominent and influential
position in the government of the men
who have been directly responsible for
all the egregious bungles and ineptitudes
Of the last nine years.

from the embattled foe, the gigantic
forces that have trampled down most
Of the free countries of Europe, the issue
will inevitably be determined before any
substantial reinforcements could reach
us from any other land, however willing
1t might be to help. That represents
the universal spirit and conviction of
our people. That is the temper in which
they are facing the terrible possibilities
Of the next few weeks.
The enemy, when he comes, will en-
counter resistance which would have
been impossible a few weeks ago. The
organization is by no means perfect
yet. There are still many defects to be
remedied, but there is constant and
conscious improvement.
Burma Road "BIunder."
But the era of blunders unfortunately
is not over. The worst blunder of all was
the neglect to eliminate the blunderers
from the direction of affairs. What has
happened this week over the Japanese
negotiations shows that we are still
suffering from their presence and in
fiuence in the councils of the nation.
Public opinion Is disturbed and shocked
by the pusillanimity and folly and base
ness of the betrayal of China on the
Burmese road. That highway is the life
line Of Chinese independence. It is the
main source Of the supplies that are
keeping alive China's valiant struggle for
national freedom. We have agreed to
strangle this conduit of life at the behest
Of Japan.
All the excuse that it Is only for the
period of the rainy season, when trans
port is impossible, is a miserable and
mendacious pretext. There are periods
when the road is impossible, but they
are short and they last about 10 days at
a time. In the rest of even the rainy
season heavy supplies can and do pass
along the road. There is no other way
by which the defenders OF Chinese liberty
can be provided with essential means for
carrying on the struggle. 4
Agree to Strangle China.
This is an agreement by which we
undertake at the bidding Of the Japanese
to cut the windpipe Of Chinese national
independence. Had We ourselves been in
the last straits Of q hopeless struggle for
life, as the terror stricken French Min
listers were when they surrendered, and
had We perpetrated this act Of perfdy
toward an old ally and friend to save
ourselves, It would still have been q deed
that would drench the name Of our
country in dishonor. But what do we
hope to gain by it?
Japan dare not send her fleet from
the Pacific to the Atlantic to help our
foes invade Britain. No Japanese gov
ernment could take the risk Of inferiority
in its home waters. What have the
Japanese given us In exchange? Where
are the 30 pieces of silver? The fact
Is that this wretched transaction Is q
continuance Of that policy Of surrender
to aggression which has brought de-
mocracy to its crashing doom On the
continent. of Europe.

LONDON.-We are engaged in grim
preparation for the most deadly attack
upon our national independence and
integrity since the days Of William the
Norman. The people of this island
thoroughly appreciate the gravity of the
challenge. They know what it means
and they are under no misapprehen-
sions as to its implications.
If by some evil chance they fail to
repel the invader from their shores,
they know too well how dire the con-
sequences will be. Their national pride
will be humbled, their liberties will be
forfeited, all the freedom of thought,
expression and action which they have
won for themselves through centuries
Of ceaseless struggle, not only by the
pen, by the platform, by the pulpit and
by parliamentary debate, but also by
suffering and sacrifices on many a
stricken field, in prisons, through tor
ture and on grisly scaffolds, will dis
appear in the dark night of disaster as
completely as 1t has in Czecho- -Slovakia,
Poland, also in France.
On the other hand, If they repel this
invader as they did Philip of Spain and
the great Napoleon, the conquering
legions Of authoritarian despotism will
have sustained their first check. The
tradition of invincibilty which has
paralyzed the will Of nations, great and
small, will have been broken and the
struggle for freedom can be recon-
structed on sounder, broader, more
solid basis.
"Dogged Confidence"
have inquired in many quarters and
in many directions as to the general
attitude Of the people of these islands
toward the situation in which they
are placed. I have myself talked to
men of all classes in different parts OF
the country. I have but one account
to give of the feeling amongst all ranks
and classes and conditions of life. High
and low, rich and poor, their state OF
mind is represented by the two words
"dogged confidence"
There is no panic, there Is no fear.
On the other hand, there is no illusion.
Every one is quite conscious Of the fact
that we are In for q bad time. We may
have to pass through many trials, we
may have to face many terrors and
sacrifices, but We shall win through in
the end.
We are naturally very grateful for any
promise of assistance that comes from
any quarter across the seas. We look
forward with assured expectation to the
help that is promised from the dominions
or the empire. We are also relying more
and more upon the material help which
is coming from the United States. But
we know too well that the real battle
must be fought by ourselves, and that
the issue. will be decided by the event
Of the struggle between men Of British
birth fighting forth integrity Of British
soil against the formidable combination
Of despots who are seeking to destroy us.
