ALLIES FIRM
POLICY TOWARDS ENEMIt
UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER Rec. 11.30 a.m. RUGBY, January 16. The British Government has no in- . tention of changing its policy of-un-conditional surrender. Mr. Churchill made this clear in the House of Commons when he was asked if the Allies had reconsidered their policy of unconditional surrender in regard to the Axis. . •
Mr. Churchill replied: "No, sir." He was then asked if he did not think this attitude would tend to stiffen the German people behind their leaders and prolong the war.
"No, sir. We do not take that view at all," said Mr. Churchill. "The House would be overwhelmingly against us attempting to fnake peace by negotiation. At any rate, our allies would be violently opposed to such an attempt I am not of the opinion that the demand for unconditional surrender'will prolong the war. Anyhow, the war will be prolonged until unconditional surrender has been attained."—B.O.W.
