THE CHINA MAIL, MAY 29, 1940.

STANDARD OF LIBERTY STILL FLYING HIGH

LONDON, TO-DAY. BROADCASTING LAST NIGHT, THE MINISTER OF INFORMATION, MR. A. DUFF-COOPER, RE- CALLED HOW A WEEK AGO HE HAD SPOKEN OF THE DANGER IN WHICH THE BRITISH EX- PEDITIONARY FORCE STOOD AND HOW HE HAD CONTENDED THAT EVEN IF THE ALLIES · LOST THIS BATTLE THEY WOULD NOT HAVE LOST THE WAR.

He recalled those words when the danger of the B.E.F. was great indeed, and he would recall also other dark days in the last war.

They could all remember the retreat from Mons, when day after day weary British forces staggered down the roads of France with the German army pressing on their heels.

and the

They could all Temember in the, the British Commonwealth following year how the Germans French Republic. first used poison gas and the Allied soldiers had no defence till it seemed the enemy would carry all before him. They could remember the submarine campaign of 1917 when the enemy four were sinking one out of every ships that sailed from or to Britain.

Fluttering Flag Of Liberty

They could remember, too, the last great offensive in March, 1918, which for many days drove all before it.

Never Lost

"On each of those occasions it seemed to many of the fainthearted that the war was lost. But it never was--and all these events which seem ed disastrous at the time proved but the prelude to victory."

After warning the public against Nazi propaganda, which still sought to divide the British and French, Mr. Duff-Cooper turned to the military position.

"The enemy have succeeded in forcing their way through the lines of the Allies and have reached the sea but the armies of the Allies have not been defeated and whenever we have met the enemy, whether on land, on sea or in the air, we have proved our superiority.

Confidence Unshaken

"Towards that same. standard are flocking the remnants of the fighting forces of those unhappy countries upon

whom has descended the horror of German tyranny.

"Czechs and Poles, Norwegians and Dutch-yes, and Belgians too-are still desperately desirous of fighting for the freedom that their countries have lost.

"And

of on that fluttering flag liberty are fixed the anxious eyes of all free men all over the world. They know it is their emblem, as much as it is ours and they tremble to think it could ever be pulled down.

"They need not tremble. Their cause is safe. We are not vainglorious and we will not boast but our hearts are calm and our resolution firm.”—Bri- tish Wireless.

FINAL VICTORY WILL STILL BE OURS

London, To-day, Mr. Duff-Cooper, the Min- ister of Information, in a broadcast last night, said the enemy has succeeded in forc- ing a way through the Allied lines and reaching the sea but the "Allied armies have not been defeated."

"Whenever we have met the enemy, on land, on sea or in the air, we have proved our superiority.

It will be an army whose courage is still high and and whose confidence is still unshaken and in which every officer and man is still burning with desire to meet the enemy in combat.

"The army knows how we have driven German ships from the sea and

"It will be necessary to do our ut- how the German air force have repeat-most to withdraw our army from the ly, although in superior numbers, turn- ed tall before us in the air, and the army are hungry for an opportunity of meeting German soldiers on the field. That opportunity will come to them in due course."

The Minister .concluded: "The standard of liberty is still flying high and under it are the massed armies of

positions now occupied but it will not be a defeated army, but an army in, which every officer and man is burn- ing with a desire to meet the enemy in combat.

"As the danger increases our cour-. age rises. The cause of liberty is safe, and the final victory will still be ours.
