GREAT MINDS
“When the Battle of Britain was being fought in the blue skies over the '< white cliffs of Dover, Mr Churchill ! said: ‘We prefer to see London reduced j to a heap of ashes rather than to give j it intact to the Germans.’ Three years j before those memorable words were uttered. China, fighting single-handed and with her back to the wall, expressed her proud defiance and indomitable spirit in the words of the Generalissimo. He said: ‘I prefer to see China like a broken jade, broken and yet priceless, rather than like a stone, intact but valueless.’ Here are two great men speaking, in different words, but with one mind.” —(H.D. Liem, in “Calling Australia”, regular 8.8. C. shortwave programme).
