Cftrchill fiives War Two
Years, Paints New World
London, March 22nd.
In a world wide broadcast last night, which has been warrnly
welcomed throughout the, free world, Mr. Winston Churchill
discussed problems of the post war world, underlining Mr. Eden’s
recent statement that co-operation between Britain, the United
States and Russia is vital to the maintenance of peace and se-
curity ater the war. f
He stressed thc necessity of
síarting early preparations for
meeting these problems. In his
opinion, he said., the Germa'ns
would first be subdued, either
next vear, or in 1945, and then
nothing must delay the Allies
from over coming the Japanese
as quickly and completely as
possible, in order to avert the
menace from Australia and
New Zealand, and liberate oc-
cupied China and the Dutch
East Indies.
EMPLOYING SERVICE MEN
If he was right in assuming
that the European war would
be first brought to the finish,
a certain number of British and
Allied soldiers would have to
been discharged from military
duties, as there would be no
need for the whole Allied mili-
tary strength to overcome Jap-
an. Then preparations must be
ready to return these men to
civilian employment averted.
EQVALITY OF
OPPORTUNITY
In his opinion, the Prime
Minister said, it was necessary
to have a plan to bridge
the gap between the war and
the post war years, when the
nations could turn to their nor-
taal peace-time occupation. Per-
sonally, he was all for a social
security legislation, insuring
everybody against want, from
the cradle to the grave. To en-
sui’e this, Government and pri-
vate enterprise would have to
join hands. And every child
must be given equal oppor-
tunity of education according
to ability.
To carry on this reconstruc-
tion, as well as that comprising
health, industry, agriculture
and employment, Mr. Churchill
advocated the forming of a
Great Council of Europe, and
— afte1" the beating of Japan
— tbe +ting up of a similar
Grea+ ’l of Asia.
FINISHING THE JAPS
“ . . . But it was dangerous to
speak of peace and the fruits
of the peace as if both were an
established fact, while our
heroic Russian Allies are pour-
ing out their lifeblood in the
deathly struggle with the ene-
my . . .”, ,and the same might
be applied to the British sol-
diers and their Allies in Tun-
isia.
Russian And Nazi Losses
On Eastern Front
The German war bulleíin on
Sunday, claimed that Russian
losses between the Dnieper and
the Donetz since February 13
have been: 19,594 prisoners;
far more than 50,000 dead;
3.372 guns; 1,410 tanks and
tank-reconnaissance-cars: 3.045
heavy infantry weapons and
1.846 lorries.
But the Germans lost 70.000
men before they recaptured
Kharkov according to estimat-
es in Turkish military circles
in Ankara.
Beriin Boast Of II-Boat
Snccesses.
The claim that U-boats dur-
ing operations in the North
Atlantic in the past few days,
had achieved their greatest
victory against Allied shipping
was made by Berlin on Satur-
day- ,
Thirty-two ships, totalling
204.000 tons, and a destroyer,
the communiqué claimed, were
sunk in battles against protect-
ing warships when the U-boats
attacked a convoy Eastward
bound.
NO CONFIRMATION
No confirmation or denial of
such German claims is ever giv
en in London, and previous si-
milar enemy claims have been
very grossly exaggerated.
