Fascists and Japanese tyrants un-
conditional surrender"
by that, we mean that their will
power to resist must be completely
broken and that they must yield
themselves absolutely to our justice
and mercy"
He said 1t also means that 1--WE
must take all those far-sighted
measures which are necessary to
prevent the world from again be-
coming convulsed, wrecked and
blackened by their calculated blows
and ferocious aggression.
Then he declared:
Every man, every ship and every
airplane in the Kings service that
can be moved to the Pacific will be
sent there for as many years
as are needed to make the japanese
in their turn submit or bite the
dust"
Warns of Hard Fight.
Though confidently predicting
final triumph, Mr.. Churchill, in
luncheon at the Lord Mayors Man.
sion House later, said that survival
and victory are well within our
grasp but hard and painful may be
the process by which we shall arrive
at satisfactory conclusion"
Detailing the tremendous air
punishment heaped on Germany,
Mr.. Churchill in his Guildhall
speech disclosed the RAF alone in
the first six months of this year has
dropped 52,500 tons of bombs on
Germany. He added that "in the
whole first half of this year the
enemy has discharged no more than
$500 tons of bombs at cost of 245
planes"
Never was there such case of
bitter bitten as in the boomerang
of the aerial war on the Axis powers
who began it, Mr.. Churchill said,
and presently the weight of the
Russian air attack now mainly alb
sorbed by their long front line will
contribute an additional quota to
the total blitz"
The powerful and growing Ameri-
can Air Force has by precision day
light bombing inflicted a grave in
jury upon the most sensitive nerve
center Of the enemy's war produc-
ton, and American crews and pilots
are continually performing feats of
arms OF highest skill with daunt-
less audacity and Devotion" he said.
He said that shipbuilding in the
United States and Canada had
reached stage where the output of
new ships lis somewhere between
seven and ten times as much as our
losses from enemy action in June"
The Prime Minister said that since
the middle of May scarcely single
merchant ship had been sunk in the
whole Of the North Atlantic.
Battle of Ruhr to Spread Soon.
Standing in the glow or Pickering
arc lamps and in the center of a
panoply OF gold. blue and black
robes, Mr.. Churchill told his cheer
ing listeners that the battle of the
Ruhr soon would be spreading over
all Germany.
"As the nights become longer and
the United States Air orce becomes
more numerous our strong arms will
lengthen both by night and by day
and there is no industry or military
target in Germany that will not re-
| ceive as we deem necessary the ut
most application of the exterminat-
ing force.
Il have never INDUCED in shallow.
fugitive optimism but have thought
1t right to make this statement be-
cause I am sure it will not lead to
the slightest complacency or relaxa-
ton of that awful force which now
is being brought into action.
This force will be remorselessly
applied to the guilty nations and
their wicked leaders who imagined
their superiority of airpower would
enable them to terrorize and subju-
gate first all Europe and afterwards
the world"
In a speech the length and vigor
OF which surprised most every one
on such a formal occasion, Mr.
Churchill declared that upon the
association and intimate alignment
policy of the United States and
Britain depends more than upon
any other factor the immediate fu-
ture of the world"
Referring to the close association
Of the two countries, he said that
the great power of the United States
aroused no fear" and its "pre-em-
inence excites no jealousy in British
bosoms."
With thousands of admirers who
seldom get a chance to cheer him
in person lining the streets, Mr..
Churchill was driven from the edge
Of the city of London to the Guild
hall in one of the Lord Mayors
horse-drawn open carriages.
He was accompanied by Mrs.
Churchill and their daughters, Sarah
and Mary, both in military uniform.
The parade route was kept secret
until short time before the cere-
mony when street corner loudspeak-
ers assembled the throngs.
The colorful procession went from
Fleet Street up Ludgate Hill, remi-
niscent of historic celebrations
honoring many of Britain's conquer
ing heroes.
The cheering crowds soon aroused
