Nazi Bondage
Lord Halifax defined the Nazi system as "bondage, bodily, spiritual, political and economic,' and sald that Hitler's "new order" would divide the world into Germans as the Imaster race and the other nations as la second-class people with their rights and interests subordinated to those of the ruling caste,
For Europe, such a system involv- ed the shackling of industry and commerce, ruthless compulsion In- stend of tree contract, and permanent jenslavement of all peoples. But the German ambitions did not stop at Europe,

Others may surely feel with greater force that where national security is involved, it is not enough to puted balance of rely upon the dis-

Lord Halifax continued:
"This struggle is a mortal clash of two delude our- philosophies and we only selves if we suppose that the civilisa- tion that we share with you could survive a Nazi victory. It is not only with physical invasion that we are invasion concerned
but with spiritwould work which, permitted greater havoc than all the tons of high explosive that it is in the power of the German air force to unload."
Will Never Accept
Lord Halifax declared. "Wo will never accept Hitler's new order." He defined the principal war alm of Britain and her Allies as the winning of this life and death struggle for the cause of human freedom, but ho added that victory would be Dend Sea fruit unless we could also achieve what must be the greatest peace alm of securing the world as far as humanly possible against a re- petition of this tragedy. When this great battle was won nations which had proserved or regained their free- dom would have a sovereign opportu- nity to show what freedom micans and what it can do for the welfare of mankind.
It is not possible now to draw de- tailed plans for the future structure of the community of nations but we are already in a position to providin a basis whereon agreement must bo founded,
Nations could exist in freedom and security only if they were prepared to co-operate for mutual economic welfare and, if need be for mutual defence.
"In the British Commonwealth of Nations experience has taught us that nations, differing greatly in numbers, wealth, race and social structure can yet freely associate together and the British Commonwealth, the bastion of world defence to-day, may well be come the bridge of greater world unity to-morrow.
