BULLYING NAZIS
SMALL COUNTRIES HITLER AND HIS HUNS MONSTROUS APPARITION FOES OF WHOLE WORLD (Reed, Nov. 14, 9 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 13. “We are far stronger than we were 10 weeks ago and far better prepared to endure the worst malice of Hitler and his Huns than at the beginning of September," said the First Lord of the Admiralty, Mr. Winston Churchill, yesterday during his broadcast speech, reviewing the first 10 weeks of the war.
After referring to Hitler and his ‘■Lad adviser, Ribbentrop” as “marvellous twin contortionists,” Mr. Churchill declared that these boastful and bullying Nazi personages looked hungerily at the small countries in the west, turned a fierce but rather prudent glare upon the ancient, civilised, unoffending Belgian, and Dutch nations, chose not to molest the British Fleet which awaited attack in the Firth of Forth and recoiled from France’s steel front along the Maginot Line.
Mr. Churchill added that America had not disguised her sympathies and self-questionings, but translated them into action which anyone might judge.
“The whole world is against Hitler and Hitlerism," declared Mr. Churchill. “Men of every race and clime feel that this monstrous apparition stands between them and a forwaro move for which the age is ripe.”
