ALLIED MUTUAL AID
CONTINUANCE AFTER THE WAR
RUGBY, October 31
"As far as the Netherlands and Belgium are concerned, I have no doubts that their independent existence will be guaranteed by the close co-opera-tion of the United Nations, of which I have seen striking examples in London," declared Field-Marshal Smuts, broadcasting in Dutch tonight to the people of the Netherlands and Belgium.
"We in South Africa share your conviction that beyond frontier and ocean all men who want to uphold the rights of civilisation are allies in the great struggle, the final victory of which will renew the world. Nothing or nobody will divide us. Nothing or nobody will keep us from our resolution to crush the enemy and the dark powers with which he would taint the soul of men.
"Humanity will yet gather fruit of the sacrifices endured by our sorely stricken generation. If we maintain our firm confidence in victory, then it is our duty to prepare for a peace which could grow organically from the united will of the United Nations. The mutual aid now rendered by the United Nations must be continued in peace to achieve the elaboration of the Atlantic Charter in the economic and social spheres."—B.O.W.
