PLEDGES OF HOPE
BRITISH MINERS’ MESSAGE TO THEIR FELLOW-WORKERS IN EUROPE. i OVERTHROW OF BARBARIAN GANGSTERS. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, December 29., A striking and eloquent New Year's message to mine-workers in Europe, in which the light of the miner's lamp and the fearless, untiring work of miners’ rescue parties are evoked as pledges of hope for those who are oppressed under Nazi tyranny, comes from the miners of the Durham coalfields “on behalf of every miner at home in Britain.”
To fellow-workers on the Continent they say: “Whatever the toll to be paid, whatever the sacrifice involved, we face it cheerfully in the realisation that there can be no hope for mankind so long as the Nazis exist. The barbarian gangsters who enslaved you will never succeed against people whose long history has been one of struggle, endurance and triumph in the long travel to liberty and freedom. Today, when to you the future may seem dark as night, we asstire you that the gleam that lightens our path and gives us faith shall give you hope and confidence to overthrow despotism and ty r a n n y.” ________
