unarmed, Churchill said, anC
I'VE strove long, too long, for
peace. and suffered thereby he
said, "but from the moment when
we gave our guarantee that we
would not stand by idle and see
Poland trampled down by Nazi dom
Ination, we have never looked back,
never tagged, never doubted, never
Nlinched.
Sure of Duty
1--WE were sure of our duty, and
we discharged and will discharge
It without sWerVing or slackenln9
to the end"
Britain, he said seeks no profits,
wants no territory or aggrandize-
ment, expects no reward, and VIII
accept no compromise.
Paying tribute to the cooperation
of the outlying units OF the British
Commonwealth of Nations, Church
i'll said when he came to India:
IN the vast sub continent OF In
dia. which we trust will presently
find full satisfaction with the
British Commonwealth of Nations,
the martial races and many others
thronged to the imperial standard.
The Indian army has the peculiar
characteristic of being composed en-
tirely of volunteers, Churchill SAID,
adding that mot one has been con-
scripted or compelled. The same
thing is broadly true throughout the
great colonial empire"
Turning to the United States,
whose power arouseS no fear and
whose prominence excites no jeal-
ousy in British bosoms," Churchill
said:
Upon the association ard init
mate alignment of policy OF the
United States and the British Com
monpealth and Empire depends more
than upon any other factor the i'm
mediate future of the world.
IF we walk or if need be March
together in harmony and in accord
ance with the moral and political
conceptions to which the English
speaking peoples have given birth,
and which are frequently referred
to in the Atlantic Charter, all will
be we'll
IF they fall apart and wander
astray from the lines of their des-
tiny, there Is no end or measure to
the miseries and confusion which
would mark modern civilization"
Many Eight and hayward spirits"
in both Britain and the United
States have shown themselves by
word and action to be unmindful OF
this fundamental fact" Churchill
said.
Declaring that Eve see no narrow
or selfish combination" he contin-
ued:
I'VE presume not at all upon the
lawful interests and characteristics
of any ally or friendly state. We
nourish the Warmest feelings OF
fellowship toward the valient Rus
sian people with whom we have
made a 2O-year treaty of friendship
and mutual aid.
1--WE foresee an expanding future
to the long and enduring Republic OF
China. We look forward to the re-
vival of unity and the true great
ness Of France"
States, Churchill said that country
mo doubt" was drawn near the edge
Of the conflict before Pearl Harbor.
Brotherly Relations
"Since then we and the Americans
have waged war, sharing alike, TAX
Ing the rough with the smooth, not
as one people but certainly as
though we were one army and one
navy and one air force. So we shall
continue like brothers. ="
After dwelling on domestic af-
fairs at some length, Churchill said:
1.-THE general progress of the war
Is satisfactory"
Mentioning the victories in Tu-
nisia and at Stalingrad, he swung
to another victory no less notable"
= that over the U-boats in the At
lantic.
In May, he said, the Germans ex-
erted themselves to prevent the
movement to Britain of enormous

are continuously received from the
United States and which he must
bring in safely if our war making
capacity is to be maintained.
Long lines of U-boats were
spread to meet .hese conveys, and
Is or 20 U-boats were concentrated
in attack.
ITO meet this, British and Amer
lean and Canadian forces of the
sea and air hurled their strength at
the U-boats. The fighting took place
mainly around conveys and also
over a wide eXpanse of the ocean.
"It ended in the total defeat Of
the U-boat attack.
More than 80 U-boats certainly
were destroyed in the month Of
May floundering in many cases with
their crews in the dark depths of
the sea.
staggered by these deadly losses,
the U-boats have recoiled to lick
their wounds and mourn their dead.
"Now as result of the May vic
tory and the massacre of the u
boats, we have had in June the
best month we have ever known in
the whole As months of war"
He capped his resume OF the VIC
