struggle for popular government,
continuously waged since the
early Middle Ages, in my own
country as in almost every part
of Europe, proves conclusively
how old and how widely rooted
is the idea of freedom.
America is the creation of men
who so valued freedom that they
called a new world into being in
order to maintain ii. The Brit
iSh Commonwealth has grown in
an atmosphere of freedom and
has developed the principle and
practice of self government. We
see the fruits of it in the march
of free men from the four
corners of the earth, men whose
loyalty to the common crown
for them the symbol of liberty
has brought them to fight by sea,
and land, and air, at our side
today.
Now there is no inch of COM
mon ground between those who
accept and reject these principles,
or assert and deny these rights.
The Nazi system is bondage,
bodily and spiritual; political
and economic.
Hitler Order" Means
Enslavement Of All.
According TO Nazi philosophy,
the state both may and must
claim the whole allegiance of
mans body and soul. Truth,
conscience, mercy, honor, justice.
love; where these clash with
what is held to be the over
riding interest of the state. they
are regarded by Hitler as Of
fenSes.
AS Hitler plans the world under
his so-called new order" it
would be divided into Germans,
the master race. and other ma
tons. second-class peoples, with
rights and interests subordi-
mated to those of the ruling caste.
For Europe such system in
wolves the shackling of industry
and commerce, ruthless compul-
sion in place of free contract,
and the permanent enSlavement
Of all peoples.
But German ambitions do not
stop at Europe. Already Hitler
is scheming to overrun great
tracts of Africa and Asia.
Across what have now become
the Straits of Dakar the invader
of Africa, if he could once es-
tablish undjsputed mastery of
Europe, could swiftly pounce
upon your Latin neighbors TO
the south. The American conti-
nent, a standing challenge to
German domination, could be at
tackled before it had time to arm
in self-defense. In any case the
doors of trade in Europe, Asia
and Africa would be closed to 1t

Germany.

berry? We cannot tell. Some
will advance arguments against
the likelihood of his so acting;
he might indeed achieve much
the same result without actual
armed attack. Others may sure
ly feel with great force that where
national security is involved it
is not enough to rest upon a dis
puted balance of probability. We
in Great Britain had to answer
much the same question for
ourselves. I have no doubt that
at the price of allowing Hitler to
work his will in Europe we could
at any time in the last few
years have temporarily reached
an understanding between the
British Commonwealth and the
German Reich. But, quite apart

arrangement, what would have
been the assurance of it's durabil-
ity? Lust for power is like can
Ger that must constantly extend
its ravages. and with all the ex-
perience we had had. l have no
doubt in my own mind that any
such arrangement would only
have served to establish Hitler in
a position of still greater strength
to attack the British Common
wealth at his own selected mo-
ment. And certainly no pact or
treaty ever made with Hitler,
who has broken nearly every
international promise he has ever
made, would either have been,
or be worth any more than all the
others made in all good faith by
his European victims.
War Is Mortal Clash
OF Two PHILOSOPHERS.
I am not surprised, therefore,
that the overwhelming sense of
your people should be to reject
the new dispensation that with
all its inevitable consequences
Hitler seeks to impose upon the
world.
1t is sometimes suggested that
the evil things against which we
strive are less black than they
appear. We are but witnessing
today, so runs the argument.
one of those titanic outbursts of
human energy that since the
dawn of history have blazed the
path of progress. AS then, so
now. Time will purge the dross,
until from the ashes new truth,
new beauty spring.
Such judgment takes no ac-
count of the stark realities with
which we are faced. This struggle
is mortal clash of two philoso-
phleS, and we only delude our
selves If we suppose that the
civilization that we share with
you could survive a Nazi VIC
tory. 1t Is not only with physi-
cal invasion that you or 1 are
concerned, but with a spiritual
invasion which. if permitted,
would work greater havoc than

we have seen an increasing dim
Guilty in securing the distribu-
ton of the worlds abundance
both within and across national
frontiers, with adverse effects
upon the workers standard OF
living everywhere. We had hoped
to see the vision of plenty BAN
ishing the specter of scarcity;
but what in fact we have seen
has been the failure of men to
exchange with their fellow men
the abundant products of both
farm and factory. When there
fore victory has been won, 1t
must b. our aim TO promote the
common interest in the greatest
possible interchange of goods and
services. Problems involving COM
mon needs can only be solved
by common action.
We see the urgent need for
economic cooperation. and we
are ready to take part in plans
to promote it on a worldwide
scale. Our aim will be prosperity
justly shared. Even now we are
making plans to remedy the i'm
poverishment which must follow
in the train of war. We are ar
ranging to establish stocks OF
food and raw materials which
can be released as soon as we
can be sure that they will be
used for this work of healing
and not for our destruction.
All Nations Must Unite
To Rebuild After War.
This business of rebuilding
after the war will be q task far
beyond the strength of any sin
gle country. Great Britain Is
resolved TO do her utmost. but it
is clear that if the world is TO
be brought back TO health after
so devastating sickness. it will
only be by the united action of
all men and all nations of good
will.
1t will not be easy, for we may
be very sure that the upheaval
now convulsing the nations will
not leave things as they were.
A new world is being born OF
bitter suffering, and the prob
lens of peace will in many ways
be more difficult than those of

new remedies, and there will be

For human society b ulti-
mately subject to the same law
that in the individual sphere
makes It impossible for any man
to keep his soul alive If he con-
sciously permits his life TO re-

That, then, is why We are at
war-to save our freedom and
the worlds freedom from being
murdered, as it has been MUIR
dered in Czecho-Slovakia, Po-
land, Norway, Denmark, Holland,
Belgium and France. We will
never accept Hitler'S new order,
which Is in truth reversion to
the old order before men were
civilized, and which would para
lyze them again with chains of
brutal, selfish and material force.
We reject it because, as the
President finely said on the 9Th
of January. we prefer that con-
ception of q moral order based
on noble human qualities that
Hitler would destroy, by which
nations and men can grow to full
stature through service freely
given to the common good. And
so the principal war aim OF my
people and of those who are
fighting with US Is to win this
life and death struggle Tor the
cause of human freedom.
Repetition Of Tragedy
Is Greatest Aim.
But even the achievement Of
victory would be dead sea fruit
unless we can also achieve that
which must be the greatest peace
aim. OF securing the world, so far
as 1t Is within human power to
do so, against a repetition of this
tragedy.
Mr.. Churchill, in moving

volumes of the World Crisis"

If this is the end? Is it to be

These questions demand an an

welfare Of mankind.
1t is not possible now to draw
detailed plans for the future
structure of the community of
nations. These must naturally
await discussion in free council
by those concerned. But we are
already in a position to see the
basis on which agreement must
be founded. Nations like indi-
viduals can only exist in freedom
and security If they are prepared
to cooperate for mutual eco
nomic welfare, and, If need be,
for mutual defense. In the eco
nomic sphere indeed, everything
depends upon such cooperation.

teaches that q stable interna-
tlonal order must admit of
ordered change in the relations
between states. Just as the lib
erty OF the individual must have
regard to the needs of the COM
munity, so must every nation in
future accept its obligations to
the general family of nations.
Rights, whether personal or ma
tional, are always morally linked
with duties. The spirit that i'm
pels a good citizen TO give will
ing service in one form or
another to the state, will imply
for the nation a readiness in
both political and economic
spheres to consider the welfare
of its neighbors.
World Of the Future
Must Be . Single Whole.
We for our part are prepared
TO join hands with any state
which genuinely seeks the peace
and prosperity OF the world by
Loyalty observing engagements
and by insuring individual lib
erty within its borders. II will
be of no value TO force unwanted
associations upon unwilling ma
tionSs We must rather try to
create conditions, political and
economic, in which there may
grow among the peoples them
selves a real sense of their COM
munity of interest.
In the British commonwealth
of nations our experience has
taught us that nations differing
greatly in numbers and wealth,
in race and social structure, can
yet freely associate together.
What has been possible for them
is not impossible for others,
and the British Commonwealth

lutions, is the bastion of world
