GOOD V. EVIL
FOR THE SOUL OF MAN. “There is something more —something greater —in this war than a combat between opposing armies; something more eternal than a grapple in the skies between the Spitfires of Britain and the Heinkels of Nazi Germany; something more desperate than a death struggle between the U-boats and the destroyers,” said Mr Hore-Belisha, Minister of War, in a broadcast talk. "There is a conflict between the forces of good and the forces of evil, and what has to be determined is which shall possess the soul of countries and of man. We British did not enter the fight merely to reconstitute Czecho-Slovakia; nor do we fight merely to reconstitute a Polish State. Our aims are not defined by geographical frontiers; we are concerned with the frontiers of the human spirit. This is no war about a map. It is a war to re-establish the conditions in which nations and individuals—including (may I say?) the German nation and German individuals —can live, or live again.”
