LORD SNELL ON BRITAIN'S MOTIVES IN THE WAR
London, To-day.
BROADCASTING LAST EVENING in London, Lord Snell, leader of the Labour Party in the House of Lords, said: "The British Commonwealth is not fighting for wealth or territory but for the liberation of mankind from the organized forces of evil. In this grim contest, right will in the end prevail."
In substantiation of this claim Lord Snell listed some of
Britain's many advantages.
Time was on our side, our island position was a safeguard against invasion, the democratic nature of our institu- tions, the sympathies of all free men were with us, we possessed allies of great resources and endurance and are supported by splendid contributions from the Empire.
In connexion with the Empire's as- sistance, Lord Snell laid stress on its completely voluntary nature.

In recalling the extent of the pire's resources, Lord Snell said Empire was the greatest producer wheat, wool, gold, tin, nickel, tea and timber.
"Whatever may be its shortcomings there is not a race or group within its territories that would prefer the rule of Herr Hitler to that of King George." PEACE AIMS
Speaking of peace aims Lord Snell said the Labour Party had its own proposals and believed that they were such as even the German people could accept without humiliation.
They recognised the principle of equal rights as between all peoples.
The British Empire's own structure and experience suggest the method to be followed.
It is itself a loose federation of many states.
The King wired "to our old and valorous ally, to which we are bound by mutual esteem and historical ties," and expressed long friendship.
