This is a time for unity, not division.
With Warsaw fallen, we have no time
or energy for jealousy even between
nations, still • less between political
parties. We do not care who is in
power or in office, so long as the great
objects of the allies are achieved. We
are fighting, not for the triumph of
Grit or Tory, but for humanity.
