HOW THE R.A.F. ATTACKS ITS OBJECTIVES

We Would Rather See London in Ashes & Ruins

WINSTON STIRRING

CHURCHILL'S

BROADCAST

TO THE DEMOCRACIES

NO ONE who heard the broadcast by the Premier, Mr. Winston Churchill, in the early hours

of this morning could have failed to have been stirred by the message he conveyed to the free peoples of the world.

..

Each word was a word of hope. Each sentence breathed confidence.

It will be a long and hard war, and the great Nazi assault may come to-night. It may come next week, perhaps, said Mr. Churchill, it may never come.

"WE SEEK NO TERMS”

"Be the ordeal sharp or long, or both, we shall seek no terms," said the Premier.

"We shall tolerate no parley.. We may show mercy-we shall ask for none.

"Here in our island we are in good health and in good heart.”

We may be sure, Mr. Churchill continued, that there is a plan, perhaps built up over years, for destroying Great Britain which, after all, has the honour to be Hitler's main and foremost enemy. "All I can say is that any plan for invading Britain which Hitler made two months ago must have had to be entirely recast in

order to meet our new position," he added.
