INDOMITABLE RACE
"Today," said the Prime Minister (Mr. Fraser), "is the fourth anniversary of the German invasion of Poland and the outbreak of the second world war. This act was the signal which two days later brought Britain and the Dominions into the war against the forces of Axis tyranny and oppression which have brought so large a toll of misery and destruction throughout the world. "To say that the Polish Government could have chosen the easy path of collaboration with Germany, as Italy, Hungary, Rumania, and Bulgaria chose, is to forget that there is something in the spirit of the indomitable Poles which rules out the idea of surrender. The Nazis realise this, too, or else they would not try, as they are now doing, to wipe put every Polish man, woman/ and child in whole districts of the country. • "Now that the judgment day of peace is drawing nearer, though much toil and sqrrow* are still to come, we have to be very clear about the high principles which brought us into this war in September, 1939, but those same high principles which caused us to align ourselves with the brave Polish people are, I believe, a firm beginning for a just and lasting peace,"
