The Labour Leader, Mr John Curtin, made this categòrial de- claration to-day in a message addressed not only to Australia but to the world in general.

Australia and her workers, he said, were determined to give all and bear all in this crucial struggle for human liberty. It would be wrong for us to mistake liberty of speech for strength but equally wrong If friends construe this liberty as evidence of doubt, he added.

Mr Curtin finally reiterated the Labour Party's unyielding opposition to aggression,

NAZIS KEEP UP POLISH TERROR

THE Nazi oppressors are continuing their campaign of terror and reprisals in Poland. Mass raids and deportations to concentration camps are carried out constantly.

Many of the victims of the Gestapo are sent to forced labour in Germany, where they are employed at most dangerous work, and under the worst con- ditions.

Others are sent to concentration camps, where they suffer the most degenerate cruelty.

The most notorious camp is near Oswiecim, near Cracow, on former Polish-Czech frontier,
