ON THE RECORD
The Purpose of Britain At War
"We are called with our Allies to
meet the challenge of a principle
which, If it wore to prevail, would be
fatal to any civilised order in the
world.
It is the principle which permits a
State, in the selfish pursuit of powir,
to disregard Ito treaties a111) its $01-
oun pledges; which sanctions the use
of three or threat or force against
the sovereignty and independence of
other States."
tIL,M. Bing -George VI,
Broadcast, 3 September, 1939)
"It is evil things that we shall be
fighting nation, brute force, bad
faith, injustiee, oppression, and per-
secution,"

"There call be no pe11ee until the
anenace of Hitlerism has been finally
removed, 11 feat en finis'."
(Rt. Hon. Neville Chamberlain, M.P.
House of Commons,
13 September, 1939)
"We are fighting hi defence of free-
dom; we are fighting for peace; we
are meeting t1 challenge to our own
security and that of others; we are
defending the rights of all nations to
live their own lives. We are lighting
against the substitution of brute force
for law as the arbiter between na-
tions, against the violation of the
Sanctity of treaties and disregard for
the pledged word. We have learned
that there can be no opportunity for
Europe to cultivate the arts of peace
until Germany is brought to realise
that recurrent acts or aggression will
not be tolerated.
We are therefore fighting to main-
tain tate rule of law and the quality
of mercy in dealings between man
and man and hi the great society of
civilised States."

time war broke out, all but 19 had
