WE are a marvellous people. As
soon as the world thinks we are down, up go our tails and the fur begins to fly.'
In a long experience of having my finger on the pulse of Britain, I have never known it beat so strongly as it is beating to-day.
Wo We are now at the crisis of the war. promised the world two months ago that if we could hold on just for a month we should win.
Well, we not only held on for that month but we have doubled the time. And we can say now without hesitation that the tide is on the turn. Hiller is doomed. It is our job to hasten the day of his doom.
Now is the time to throw defensive ideas out of our minds and fill them with the spirit of at- tark.
I WOULD suggest for a start that we begin to talk a little less about the defence of Britain. Let us call it instead the protection of Britain. Defence sounds too much like sitting in the for- tress and waiting for Hitler. That is the inst thing we want to do. We can force a stalemate by waiting for Hitler. But we are going to have no stalemate ending to this war.
Hitler is going down good and hard, if it costs
