Pilots from the Netherlands East, In- dies are shortly leav ing Batavia for Eng- land, according to the Batavia wireless yes- terday. The pilots will join their Dutch col- leagues collaborating with the R.A.F.

Our

Power

IT WAS LEARNED in informed London quarters last night that the British Minister in Athens has been instructed to assure Gen- eral Metaxas that Britain will give Greece all assistance in her power in defending herself against an Italian attack.

This news will be received with every appro- val by all sections of the British public whose admiration for the gallant Greek people in re- fusing to be intimidated by Axis bullying is unbounded..

No surprise is, however,

felt r at this manifestation of Grecian fortitude, for every schoolboy knows that in the fair land of Greece is the very birthplace of Western civilisation.

A Dutch East In- dian Legion will follow shortly to join the Dutch Legion already in England. Reuter. 000000000000000000 determined attack.

Powers Of Darkness

But in spite of all the powers of darkness that lamp has never been wholly extinguished.

It is, however, ironic that the dagger held at the throat of the Greek race should be in the hand of an Italian leader.

Mussolini continually reverts to the ancient splendours of Rome and to the great contribution the Romans made to European civi- lisation. Yet that contribution would have been nothing had it not been for the inspiration provided by the Greeks.

The race that probably owes more than any other to Athenian culture is the very one acting in conjunction with descendants of the tribe that threatens to (overthrow the cradle of Western 'civilisation. Yet no one amongst the heirs of Greece, wherever they may be-and they are distributed throughout the world-doubts for a single moment that a second rennaissance, will come to Europe.

Triumphant Struggle

Just as through the darkness of mediaeval times the light of Greece was carefully tended un- til it once again illuminated the whole world, so now will the free people of the world eventu- ally overcome the dark hordes and bring back freedom to the victims of oppression.

It is indeed fitting that Greece and Britain are associated toge- ther in that triumphant struggle. -British Wireless....
