London, Nov. 26.
"Qur War aim," the Prime Minister declared in his broadcast, "is to defeat the enemy, not merely the; enemy's military forces but the aggressive, bullying mentality which has sought continually to dominate other peoples by force, which has found brutal satisfaction in the persecution and torture of inoffensive citizens, and which, in the name of! the interests of the State, has justified repudiation of its own pledged word, whenever it has found it convenient, "If the German people could be convinced that. this spirit is as bad for themselves as for the rest of the world, they would abandon it. If we could secure that they did abandon it without bloodshed, so much the better. But abandoned it must be. That is our War aim, and we shall persevere in this struggle until we have attained it."
