Italian. Finnish and neutral ship
ping useful to the Axis totaled about
l,7O700O tons, including 100000 tons
claimed sunk by the Russians.
Very few important ships carry
ing munitions to Britain have been
lost. Mr.. Churchill said.
Our reserves of food stand
higher than at the outbreak of the
war" Mr.. Churchill said.
There will be better Christmas
dinners this year than last year and
at the same time more justification
behind those dinners"
I'VE are now within a measurable
distance of an immense flow of
American new building which to-
gether with our own production We
look to carry US through 1912 and
along progressively to the end Of the
war" he declared.
However, he warned that I'VE must
expect U-boat warfare conducted by
a larger number of U-boats than
ever before will be intensified.
Says U-Boats Can Be Beaten.
"U-boats will be beaten and can
be beaten only by corresponding in
tensification of our own, measures
and also, to put it plainly, by that
assistance which We are receiving in
increasing degree from other quar-
ters"
"A little more than a year ago we
seemed to be alone" the Prime Min
lister continued, but, as time has
passed by, our own steadfast con-
duct and crimes of the enemy have
brought two other very great nations
into intimate and friendly conduct
and concert with us. Whether we
look to the east or whether we look
to the west, we are no longer alone
IF we look at the battle line of
the Russian Army and at the United
States resolve and action we derive
comfort and good cheer in our strug-
gle"
We feel around us the upsurge
of all enSlaved countries of Europe
and we see how they defy Hitler's
firing parties and far away in the
east we see the faithful, patient
and inexhaustible spirit of the Chi
nese race.
Though our army is small COM
pared with the German and Rus
sian armies, it is finely tempered
weapon which, supported by nearly
100000 armed and uniformed home
guard, will destroy or hurl into the
sea an invader should he make a
number of successive or Simultane-
Gus Judgments on our shores"
The Prime Minister warned those
Evening star., 1941-09-30

on the home front that "a steady
flow of skilled tradesmen and
technicians will be required in order
to use the weapons which the fac
tories are now producing in rapidly
increasing numbers" and asserted he
had no intention of having pulled
to pieces and gutted the present
formations" of the army by releasing
soldiers for technical jobs.
The army must be ready at any
hour and any day to deal with the
threat Of the invader" he said, but
added "it may we'll be that that oc-
casion may never come" Never
theless, he insisted, "the menace to
these islands of invasion will present
itself in very grave and sharp form
in the spring.
"Only the most strenuous exer-
tions and perfect unity Of purpose
added to our traditional and unre-
lenting tenacity will enable us to act
our part worthily in the world
drama in which we are now
plunged" he concluded.

onto a broad plateau we can see be-
fore us the difficult and dangerous
onward path we must tread, but we
can see parallel movement of the
conveyance Of the two mighty ma
tions have mentioned, Russia and
the United States.
We feel around us an upsurge of
the enslaved nations of Europe. . =
cannot attempt to discuss at the
present time questions of future
strategy. They are discussed every
day in the newspapers, but do not
think the government ought to take
any part just now In debates.
Invasion Considered.
Take the question whether we
should invade the continent of Eu-
rope in order to relieve some of the
weight on Russia. I should be
guilty OF no indiscretion If I ad-
mitted that these questions have
several times occurred to those re-
sponsible for the conduct of the war.
Hitler has told us nothing since
his speech in February. We are in
complete ignorance of what he is
going to do.
We don't know how far he will at
tempt to penetrate the vast lands of
Soviet Russia in the face of the
valiant Russian defenses, or how
long his people will endure their
own tremendous losses, or again
whether he will decide to stand on
the defensive and exploit the terri
tory of immense value which he has
| conquered.
We do not know whether he will
turn portion Of his vast army
southwards toward the Valley of the
| Nile, or If he will make his way
through Spain into Northwest
Africa, or whether, using the great
continental railways of Europe and
an immense chain of airfields, he
will shift his weight and assemble
an army for an intensive invasion Of
| the British islands.
1t will certainly be in his power
while standing on the defensive in
the East to undertake all three of
these hazardous enterprises on q
! great scale.
His only shortage is in the air.
| That Is a very serious shortage, but
for the rest he still retains the ini-
tiative and we have not had the
force TO take it from him. He has
| the divisions and weapons and on
the mainland of Europe. He has
ample means Of transportation.
Assistance to Russia.
II he does not tell us his plans,
I don't see why we should tell him
ours. I can assure the House We
are studying and pondering over
these dangerous possibilities, and
how best to dispose of our resources
/ to meet them.
There is. however. one matter on
which I may speak a little more
freely, namely the material assist
ance in the way OF munitions and
supplies We are giving Russia.
The British and United States
missions are now in conference with
the chiefs of the Soviet in Moscow.
The interval which has passed since
President Roosevelt and I sent our
message from the Atlantic to Stain
has been used in ceaseless activity
on both sides of the ocean. The
whole ground has been surveyed in
the light of new events and many
important supplies already have
been dispatched.

Text of Churchirs Address to Commons

Our representatives and our
American colleagues have gone to
Moscow with a clear and full
knowledge of what we are able to
give Russia month by month from
now onwardS.
The Soviet government has q
right to know what monthly quotas
of weapons and supplies we can
send them and they can count
upon.
I must say at once that in order to
enable Russia to remain indefinitely
in the field as firSt-claSs Warmak-
ing power, sacrifices of most Sc
rious kind and most extreme effort
will have to be made by the British
people, and enormous new installa-
tions or conversions from the exist
ing plant will have to be set up in
the United States.
Other Materials Sent.
We have just had symbolic tank
week for Russia. 1t is not only
tanks. We have to send precious
aircraft, aluminium, copper, rubber,
Oil and many other materials vital to
modern war, large quantities OF
which already have gone. 1t may be
that transportation, rather than
willingness or ability to give, will
prove in the end the limiting factor.
All this now is being discussed by
our representatives and the Amer
lean representatives in Moscow with
Stain.
In some respects the problems we
now have to face are similar to those
which rent our hearts last year,
when We had to refuse TO send away
from this country for helping France
the last remaining squadrons Of
fighter aircraft on which our whole
future position depended, or again
when We rightly judged Hitler's un-
preparedness for invasion In the
summer OF 1910 and took the plunge
OF sending so many of our tanks and
trained troops around the Cape to
the Nile Valley in order to destroy
the Italian Army in Libya and
Abyssinia.
II it is now thought we solved
those problems correctly, we should
hope there may be grounds for con-
fidence that in these new problem.
his majesty's government and pro-
fessional advisers will not err either
in the direction Of improvidence OF
want OF courage.
