Relief Out of the Question

Immediate relief is out of the ques-lion so long as Nazi occupation is continued, continues the paper. A reaffirmation of the integrity of our blockade might well be softened by the assurance of immediate relief as soon as the iron hand of Hitler is removed. It would seem that the time has come to plan in advance a definite policy for relief in Europe, as soon as Hitler's downfall is achieved To draw up such a programme, is the most effective answer to the Nazi pretence that British policy is bringing starvation to Europe.

Our answer must be a double one: that it is Hitler who is starving Europe; and that it is Britain, and those who sympathize with her cause, who are making active preparations to feed Europe, as soon as the present tyranny is overthrown.

"Bread and freedom" has been the motto of more than one revolution: it should become the watchword of the result of Europe against Nazi domination, the paper concludes.—
