Whatever Germany's reply might be the Allies awaited the issue in perfect confidence. (Cheers.) The Premier congratulated the Czecho-Slovaks and Jugo"Slavs who had thrown off the oppressors' yoke. These little nations which had stood out in such heroism against Germanic dominance, could rest assured that the Allies would" come to their aid as fast as' possible.
