WAR MUST BE WON

U.S.A. AMBASSADOR’S SPEECH

RUGBY, July 17. “The outcome of this war will determine the fate of every part of the world. No stalemate or half-way house is possible” Mr Winant declared in a speech to-day. “The issue was that the whole world be dominated by brutal tyranny, stretching into every sphere of private and public life beyond the power of the tyrants of ancient and mediaeval times, or that the peoples be able to continue towards the development of civilsation, from which oppression, wretchedness, and want will be removed.” Mr Winant again stressed the obligation on the United Nations to keep peace after it was won, and their uuty to do away with living conditions which were the breeding ground of discontent, on which the Nazi-Fascist movement's flourished.

MR. JORDAN’S BROADCAST.

RUGBY, July 17

“Nationally we are together. Let us get personally acquainted.” This was the core of a message to America delivered to-night, by the New Zealand High Commissioner, Mr. Jordan. He said that both the United States and New Zealand were founded by settlers from Britain, prompted by the desire for greater liberty of action. Now, after many generations, the President of the United States and the Prime Minister of Britain had met, and in the name of their peoples agreed on a policy for all the world, which embodied the principles for which those emigrants left Britain. The sons of those emigrants had returned to Britain to join the world crusade with the same objectives as those which prompted their forebears to leave here.
