OF THE BRITISH NAZI MASSACRE Precise Statement On War And Peace Aims
LONDON, NOV. 27 (BRITISH WIRELESS)—THE PRIME MINISTER'S BROADCAST ADDRESS LAST NIGHT IS DES- CRIBED BY THE DAILY TELEGRAPH AS THE MOST IMPORTANT SPEECH OF THE WAR. HIS CALM WORDS, SAYS THE DAILY MAIL, REFLECT THE IRON WILL OF THE BRITISH PEOPLE AT WAR.
THE DAILY EXPRESS SAYS THE SPEECH STAMPS MR. CHAMBERLAIN AS THE REAL LEADER OF A PEOPLE AT WAR.
Special prominence is given to his statement of war and peace aims and the News-Chronicle which, among other newspapers, has called for a more precise statement on the sort of Europe to be created when the war is won, enthusiastically welcomes the speech and declares the aims could hardly have been stated in a more specific form.
