Will Keep Exact Account of Germany’s Crimes
DALADIER’S CHRISTMAS MESSAGE Received Monday, 11.30 p.m. PARIS, Dec. 25. M. Daladier, broadcasting a Christmas message, said: ‘‘We shall not take the initiative of inflicting new sufferings hut shall return each blow. Germany has fought her wars on other people’s territory for a century. This time we will keep an exact account of all her crimes. We are lighting not against other peoples but against war itself. ‘ ‘ Think what this night must mean for tho victims of the man against whom we are fighting! Think of the people of Prague who anxiously sit in their homes while the mocking laughter of the victors sounds throughout the city. I think of the desolation and misery of Warsaw where typhus is raging and bombs and shells have destroyed the people’s freedom! May all peoples understand that they cannot prevent aggression hy trembling before the aggressor but hy putting up a barrage of courage and determination.”
