Spirit Unbreakable

"London and others of our great cities may be battered by successive blitzes but they are undismayed and even inspired by this unparalleled ordeal. Aeroplanes can be labour our national buildings, but no bombs can break the nation's spirit" Mr. Eden continued.

"The great and generous assistance which we are receiving from the United States of America makes the Allied victory a mathematical certainty. In his message to. Congress last January President Roosevelt said he looked forward to a world founded upon four freedoms: freedom of speech and expression. freedom to worship God. freedom from want. and freedom from fear. We and our allies are fighting today that this noble conception of a better life mi prevail. It is no war of nationality but one of faith in the standards of the philosophies of life.

"Sooner or later" Mr. Eden stated, all must decide upon which side, whether of light or darkness, they stand." Reuter.
