END NAZI RULE
OBJECT OF ALLIES NO SECURITY OTHERWISE ERA OF BROKEN FAITH By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright British "Wireless LONDON, Feb. '29 The Dominions Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, speaking at, Liverpool to-clay, 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 this era of broken faith, and political perjury must be shown to have had its day. "Lf there is to he any future for the human race, the Nazi system must go. Until Hitlerisni, and the international gangsterdom for which Hitler stands, arc utterly and finally destroyed there is going to be neither security for the present nor hope for the future. Great Efforts by the Dominions "For a free people no fate could bo 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."
Mr. Eden reviewed in a series of impressive descriptive passages the scale and variety of the Dominions' effort in the Avar, 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 account of the memorable scenes of welcome to the Canadians, Australians and New Zealanders in which he had participated. Of the Empire air training scheme, he said: "There will soon be a continuous flow of pilots, observers and gun crews, numbered not in thousands but in tens of thousands, every year.
May Soon be a Movement "I have no hesitation in saying that in conception and execution, there has been no parallel in the world s history to this scheme." The Minister sounded a warning that, after long months of relative inaction on the land fronts there might soon be movement, but said the respite so far had given Britain a chance to forge her weapons. Mr. Eden related as typical of the Dominions' spirit a remark a soldier from "down under" had made to him: "It seems there is a job of work to be done." He added: "With God's ( help it will be done."
