THE NAZI PYTHON
EMPIRE'S TASK
FIGHT FOR FREEDOM
"Meantime, there is but one task which confronts all members of the British Commonwealth of Nations—to fight to free themselves from the hideous evils of the Nazi python," said Mr. F. Martyn Renner, principal of Rongotai College, when addressing the
Wellington branch of the League of Nations Union yesterday afternoon. "Not alone in battle will we win our freedom. We have to win it in our everyday lives —by steeling our hearts against the poison propaganda that day in and day out pours across the air.
"We know in our hearts that man's ultimate destiny does not visualise the triumph of evil over good. Good must triumph: otherwise existence has no meaning. That being so, we, the people of the free nations, can face the future calmly and resolutely—certain that -when the struggle is finished and the battle won* we will not be found unworthy of the task appointed for us, the task of helping to rebuild and reconstruct."
