Greenwood Promises Czechs Liberation

LONDON, May 26. In a broadcast speech to the Czechoslovak people, the Minister without portfolio iMr Arthur Greenwood) said that on the fourth day of the war he broadcast on behalf of the British Labour movement a special message to Czechoslovaks declaring that the cruel injustices imposed on them must be righted and that the hour of their liberation would strike. l He repeated that assurance with equal confidence. “I know our enemies will- not scruple to pursue evil designs of conquest and domination with relentless ferocity, but the material and moral resources in the service of those Allies are immeasurably greater than those at the disposal of Germany,” he said. Immediate Task “Cur immediate task is to bring these resources into full and harmonious operation by redoubling our efforts in all departments of war activity. “The task is now well in hand. “The British people have not been daunted by the initial setback. “Hold fast to your faith and do not desert the flag of liberty. “The victory that shall be ours will bring the restoration of your freedom.”
