FOOTSTEPS WILL BE PURGED FROM SURFACE OF

OF EARTH Allies All Pledge Themselves Afresh To Carry On The War Unceasingly Until Final Victory: Address By The Prime Minister

"WE CANNOT SAY YET HOW DELIVERANCE WILL COME OR WHEN IT WILL COME, BUT NOTHING IS MORE CERTAIN THAN THAT EVERY TRACE OF HERR HITLER'S FOOTSTEPS WILL BE PURGED FROM THE SURFACE OF THE EARTH," DECLARED MR. WINSTON CHURCHILL, PRIME MINISTER, WHEN HE ADDRESSED A MEETING OF THE ALLIES AT ST. JAMES'S PALACE IN LONDON YESTERDAY.

Those attending the meeting pledged themselves afresh to carry on the war unceasingly until viétory was achieved.

The Prime Minister represented GREAT BRITAIN. CANADA, AUSTRALIA, NEW ZEALAND and SOUTH AFRICA were represented by their High Commissioners while the Prime Ministers of BELGIUM, POLAND, CZECHOSLOVAKIA, NORWAY, LUXEM- BOURG and the NETHERLANDS were also present,

Mr. Churchill continued to say that though Hitler may turn and trample this way and that and that though he may spread his evil forces far and wide and though he may break into Africa and Asia they would resist him.

"WE SHALL CONTINUE TO RESIST ON LAND AND SEA," SAID THE PRIME MINISTER. "WE SHALL BE ON HIS TRACKS WHEREVER HE GOES: WE SHALL BREAK UP AND CHALLENGE EVERY EFFORT THAT HE MAKES TO CONSOLIDATE HIS SUBJUGATION. HE WILL FIND NO PEACE AND NO REST.

"

"If he attempts an invasion of the British Isles we shall not fiinch from the Supreme trial. With the help of God we shall continue steadfast in faith and duty until our task is done."
