direct or indirect agents of Germany will be reduced to silence. While if the
opposite takes place -
The Germans have won everything so far, in Poland, in Norway, in Holland,
in Belgium, in France, in Serbia, in Greece, in Cyrenaica, by the same means:
tanks and airplanes in liason. They have found the weapon for this war. They
manufactured it in quantities. They know how to make use of it. By it they
have conquered Europe. The sole means of making them disgorge is to have more
and larger tanks than theirs, more and deadlier airplanes than theirs. As
soon as that superiority in mechanism is acquired, the means for victory will
be forged| Besides, such equipment will have to be able to reach this continent
and there must be mechanically trained men to operate it. Besides, England
must, above all else, hold out until then.
Well, in my opinion, England will hold out, and we shall all hold out, and
it will be possible to find bases for the arrival of this saving equipment, if
you take such a position now that no doubt can be held any longer as to your
determination to lead the fight for the liberation of Europe
But I believe, in all frankness, that you can delay no longer in taking
that position.
