scale and complexity is serious un-
dertaking in itself. But we are In
the preliminary phase of one Of the
greatest battles in history. We are
in action at many other points-in
Norway and in Holland-and We
have to be prepared in the Medi-
terranean, the air battle Is con-
tinuing. and many preparations
have to be made here at home.
In this crisis I think I may be
pardoned If I do not address the
House at any length today, and I
hope that any of my friends and
colleagues or former colleagues who
are affected by the political recon-
struction will make all allowances
for any lack of ceremony with which
1t has been necessary to act.
I say to the House as I said to
ministers who have joined this gov
ernment, have nothing to offer
but blood, toll, tears and sweat.
We have before us an ordeal Of
the most grievous kind. We have
before us many, many months of
struggle and suffering.
You ask, what is our policy? I
say it is to wage war by land, sea
and air. War with all our might
and with all the strength God has
given us, and to wage war against
a monstrous tyranny never sur
passed in the dark and lamentable
catalogue Of human crime. That Is
our policy.
British War Aims
Summed Up In Word.
You ask. what is our aim? can
answer in one word. It is victory.
Victory at all costs-victory in spite
of all terrors-victory however long
and hard the road may be, for with
out victory there is no survival.
Let that be realized. No survival
for the. British Empire, no survival
for all that the British Empire has
stood for, no survival for the urge,
the impulse of the ages, that man.
kind shall move forward toward his
goal.
I take up my task in buoyancy and
hope. feel sure that our cause will
not be suffered to fail among men.
feel entitled at this juncture at
this time to claim the aid of all and
to say, Come, then, let us 60 for
