NO BRITISH DISUNITY
WHERE HITLER HAS FAILED
PEOPLE'S COURAGE AND
STRENGTH
RUGBY, Sept. 28. The Lord Privy Seal, Mr. Attlee, speaking at Manchester, said: "The I first failure of Hitler was his failure to create disunity in this country—that same disunity which in France and other countries paralysed strong resistance. Yet when things looked very dark not one of us despaired. ' j "We are facing today the most acute piece of long-planned conspiracy, designed to enslave mankind and destroy the " entire foundation of civilised society. That plan was conspired and carried out by a very evil man, but also by a very able man, by a man of strong will, and by a man of utter ruthlessness. "If the nations of Europe had sf.jxv together this evil thing could ha ye been strangled at its birth. Opportunity after opportunity was lost during those years when a halt could have been called to this fatal slipping do\vn into the abyss of war. Disunity prevailed, and the world is now paying the price. "It is tragic to look back and see how the mighty forces of the world have been dissipated by disunity, but Hitler has failed to disrupt this country. He has failed to destroy our Air Force. He failed in those attacks last year on Britain, and he has failed ever since by the courage and strength of the ordinary man and woman of this country."—B.O.W
