JACKBOOT RULE
TRUNCHEON AND GUN CONCENTRATION CAMPS LABOUR WARNING NOTE DEFENCE OF LIBERTY (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Nov. 28, 2.45 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 27. Mr. Herbert Morrison, the Labour member of the House of Commons for Hackney South, said to-day in a broadcast: “I do not welcome war, but if N'az'i Germany were victorious she would Establish her own Governments in the conquered territory. England would have government by truncheon, gun and concentration camp. Every newspaper would be a mere megaphone for some gutter-press Goebbels.
“Our own Parliament would be made a mockery. Political opinion would be suppressed. “The legal system would be transformed into an instrument of brutality. Every child would be a spy against its parents and every lovely thing for which men have striven and struggled for would be crushed under the jackboot of Hitler’s gauleiter. “This is not a ghost story. Peoples as jealous of their freedom as we have already been struck down, but we are not fighting only to end Nazism. >We must plan a clean, ordered and secure world for which we must be ready to sacrifice as individuals, classes and as a nation.”
