NAZISM MUST GO

NUISANCE AND CURSE COMPROMISE IMPOSSIBLE BRITISH LABOUR’S AIMS (Omclal Wireless) RUGBY, Feb. 10 After declaring that In his opinion the Labour Party’s manifesto on war Shit peace would live in history as an objective statement of the causes oi war, the principles involved in it and the purpose which should animate the peace, Mr Herbert Morrison, speaking at Sheffield, said: “With the people of France, we entered the war to smash the Nazi regime, which had become a nuisance to Europe generally as well as a curse to Germany. “We cannot compromise with that regime. We cannot make peace with it. And let it be understood that any until that end is attained, so we must ties, as, for example, the substitution of Goering for Hitler, will make no difference. Nazi rule and Nazi blackmail must go. Let the German people recognise that fact. Let them recognise, also, that in so far as they are parties to continuing the Nazis in power they will be sharing responsibility with the Nazis for the continuance of the war. Free and Tidy Europe “With no less emphasis, however, I wish to add this: That if the German people destroy the Nazi Government and substitute an enlightened democratic regime, anxious to co-operate with other nations in the building of a free and tidy Europe, then the purpose of the war will have been served and there will be no need for its continuance. “Just as we must continue this struggle for the destruction of a tyrannical and abominable regime, unti lthat end is attained, so we must be ready, and indeed anxious, for peace with the German nation when that nation has achieved the prerequisites of a fundamental change in Germany policy and has withdrawn its forces from the territories which Germany has no right to occupy. “Finally, British Labour appeals for an order in which justice and economic fair play will obtain, from which war will have been banished, and which will provide the necessary means for the preservation of peace between the nations.”
