DEMOCRACIES’ FIGHT

ACTING TOGETHER FOR GOOD. “So far the totalitarians have been appallingly successful. Experience has proved that they have a way of keeping their threats and breaking their promises. They have destroyed, one by one, one free nation after another,” said the American Ambassador, Mr J. G. Winant, in an address in London. “While a few short years ago these lawless men could have been put down by a few simple police measures, had the then free nations of the world had the will and wisdom to act together, now the forces and resources of all the remaining free nations of the world must be employed if we are to look forward to a world freed from the domination of fear and force. For men and women of goodwill there is only one choice. When dictators conspire together, men and women of goodwill everywhere must act together. This is no time for vain regrets or futile recriminations. We have all slept while wicked and evil men plotted destruction. We have all thought that we might save ourselves from the holocaust, and that what happened to far distant countries could never happen to us. We have all tried to make ourselves believe that we were not our brother’s keeper. But we now are beginning to realise that we need our brothers as much as our brothers need us. This is not Britain’s fight alone.”
