REPRISAL "

The Nazi fliers have fin- ally succeeded in hitting the monumental centres of British civilisation. They call this act a "rep- risal," and in one sense it. is. It is a reprisal. not for anything that the R.A.F. has so far done to Ger- man cities, but against| civilisation itself for dar- ing to exist. Britain is nearest and most defiant. She gets it first. Let those who believe in "compro- mise" be patient. This at- tack is directed at every nation and every individ- ual superior, in thought, in deed, in hope, in faith, to the jealous tribe of bar- barians who have seized Germany.

Britain is being pun- ished for having created, over many generations. the tradition of civil lib- erty: therefore the Com- mons Chamber of the Houses of Parliament is a military objective.

Britain is the mother of immortal dead, honour- ing her poets, her artists, her scientists, her philoso- phers more than her fight- ing men: therefore West- minster Abbey is a legiti- mate Nazi target.
