PEACE OF WORLD END TO NAZISM FAITH WITH FUTURE ANTHONY EDEN’S CALL TRIBUTE TO DOMINIONS “JOB OF WORK” SEEN (Elec. T(>l. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (British Official Wireless.) Rccd. 1.30 part. RUGBY, Feb. 29. The Dominions Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, speaking at Liverpool to-day, said: “This is a life-and-death struggle with a remorseless foe. Let us have no illusion about that. “The Nazi system and all it stands for must go. There must be an end to the era of broken faith and political perjury must be shown to have had its day. “If there is to be any future for the human race, the Nazi system must go. Until Hitlerism and the international gangsterdom for which Hitler stands are utterly and finally destroyed, there is going to be neither security for the present nor hope for the future. “For a free people no fate could be worse than servitude to Nazism. “We were reluctant to take up the challenge, but now we are in it we will see it through to the end. No other course is possible and to attempt anything else would be to lose the present and betray the future.” Efforts by Dominions Mr. Edcu reviewed, in a series of impressive descriptive passages, the scale and variety of the effort of the Dominions in the war, and paid a warm tribute to the spirit in which the Dominions were associating themselves with the Governments of Britain and France in opposition to aggression and tyranny. Mr. Eden gave a first-hand accouni of the memorable scenes of welcome to the Canadians. Australians and New Zealanders in which he participated. Of the Empire air training scheme, he said that there would soon oe a continuous flow of pilots, observers and gun crews, numbered not in thousands but in tens of thousands, every year. “I have no hesitation, in saying that in conception and execution there has been no parallel in the world's history for this scheme,” he said. Ho rgounded a warning that af'te: long, months of relative inaction onthe land fronts there. might soon be movement, but said that the respite sc far had given Britain the chance tc forge her weapons. Mr. Eden related as typical of the spirit of the Dominions the remark which a soldier from “down under” had made to him: "It seems there is a job of work to be done.” Mr. Eden added: “With God’s help it will be done.”
