DETERMINED FIGHT
GEN. METAXAS BROADCASTS
LONDON, November 23,
The Greek Prime Minister, General Metaxas, in a broadcast, said the Greeks hated Mussolini because he desired to enslave Greece and because he had made Greece's extermination Italy's war aim.
"We assure Mussolini that we are determined not to be exterminated, but will continue to live as a free and independent nation," he added. "We are fighting not only for our country, but also for the other Balkan States and for the liberation of Albania.
"We will be victorious together with our British allies, whom I thank for their wholehearted aid, and especially for their naval and air exploits. Thank God Greece is again a champion of the cause of freedom and liberty."
