Victory would merely give them the opportunity to break down trade barriers and to create a new world order. “It is because Britain and France can and will resist that the German army which marched so triumphantly through Poland pauses icspoctfully at the Maginot Line,” he said. “Warsaw was bombed because the Poles could not retaliate. London is so far spared because we can retaliate.”
