TOPICS OF THE DAY
Children of Britain “No child in England shall suffer from Hitler's blockade. His ration is the first responsibility of the State. We build his body so that he may be strong to face the future. No child in England shall find his claim to knowledge stripped from him by the blitzkrieg. We build his mind because we know that freedom can only be protected by those who can think for themselves. Every child that we can we shall save from the bombers. His body, nerve and soul are counted too precious by us to be left to the indiscriminate ravages of cities under fire. This young England we shall construct in the heat of battle as an example and inspiration to the dead cities of Europe.”—Evening Standard (London).
