SPIRIT UNDIMMED
PEOPLES OF OCCUPIED EUROPE. ADDRESS BY MR NASH. (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. Tribute to the courage and resolution with which the peoples of Ger-man-occupied Europe were facing the future, was paid by the Deputy Prime Minister (Mr Nash) in an address last evening. Mr Nash quoted the Dutch representative at the recent United Nations conference on relief and rehabilitation, held in Atlantic City (Dr. P. A. Kerstens), as saying: “The great periods of world progress are not those of material prosperity, but those of spiritual strength, which is mostly won from suffering and sacrifice. The nations of Europe are vibrating with the desire to rebuild their lives and their countries. They have made up their minds to work on bases of responsibility to the common wellbeing and of mutual understanding than before. They are determined and energetic as one sometimes is after a long and dangerous illness over which one has triumphed. They do not wait for any charity. They just wait for such amount of relief and rehabilitation as will be necessary to start things up again. Let us not fail 'them in their rightful expectations.”
