Stating that he could not forecast Russia’s next move, he said the U.S.S.R. was a mystery. The length of the war depends on how long Herr Hitler and the rest of his “gangsters whose | sticky with corruption” ‘can keep their hold on the German peo- ple. Mr. Churchill said that Ger- many was fighting the strength of 85,000,000 people, the total of the British and French popula- tions.- He stated it was true Ger- many. also « possessed 85,000,000 people but that 16,000,000 of ‘these were recently ‘ conquered and were being held down by main force.” He said that in their hearts the conquered masses | were definitely against the Nazi ‘government. ' The First Lord of the Ad- nairalty proclaimed England com- imanded the ocean and by so do- ing the Bgitish had access to the 20,000,000 of New Zealand, Aus- tralia and Canada.

The English people, he said, are glad Italy has not jyet joined the conflict with Ger- | ‘many and pointed out that! , Britain has never been at war jwith the Italians. England, the , First Lord of the Admiralty | stated, has the “strength to carry | a good cause forward”. Referring to the overrunning | of Germans in Poland and the {great fight the Poles presented, | Mr. Churchill said that the con-! quered territory will rise again. ‘Although the Russians, without regard to life or property, in- vaded Poland, he said that na- tion stops Germany from setting fire to the Balkan States. i Another factor in favor of the!
