HISTORIC OCCASION

COALITION AGAINST

HITLERISM

SPEECH BY M. MOLOTOV

LONDON, October 2,

The Soviet Vice-Premier, M. Molotov, in a speech at the concluding session of the three-Power conference, after paying a tribute to the determination of Lord Beaverbrook and Mr. Harriman to secure the success of the conference, said that the co-ordination of the British, American, and Russian effort guaranteed final victory in the struggle against Hitlerite Fascism, however much the Hitlerite bandits might rob their own people and the countries they had subjugated.

'Our conference will go down in history," he said. "It is not sufficient to hate all these Goerings, Hitlers, and Ribbentrops. It is necessary to beat and crush this criminal band of enslavers and annexationists, at the head of which stands the curse of mankind."

"There has at last emerged against Hitler a coalition of Powers which will know how to eradicate the Nazi poison from Europe and the menace it represents for all countries which love their independence and freedom.

"Russia has experienced an attack from the Hitlerite hordes, but she will not be broken. On the contrary she will be strengthened. Russia's conviction in victory over the sworn enemy of all freedom-loving countries is unshakeable."
