Newspapers In Accord
Nevjspapers Joined In praising
Churchill's vigorous speech yester-
day. when he promised the nation
that Britain, at least, would not
knuckle down to Germany but would
fight to the last and forecast a long
war in which Britain finally would
take the offensive.
"Every true Briton,'after hearing
Mr. Churchill’s speech to the world,
will think: ‘That’s what I should
like to have said; that’s how I feel’,”
said The Daily Mai!
"Mr. Churchill’s speech was mag-
nificent. And it was war," said The
Daily Express.
"The voice to which' we were
listening was the voice of a com-
mander-in-chief who knows what
the situation Is and who has good
reason for believing that with our
ungrudging help he can bring It to
a good end," said The Daily Sketch.

A virtual ultimatum to Britain to
surrender or be destroyed by the
Rome-Berltn axis powers was fore-
cast today by Vtrglnio Gayda,
Italian editor sometimes known
as Mussolini's mouthpiece.
Gayda said "preparations’ would
be completed hi a few days—pre-
sumabably meaning both the ulti-
matum and the strategy for a full-
blown assault on the British Isles.
The Fascist editor said if Britain
refused, the axis powers would
unleash "extremely grim, violent
war In which Inexorable destruction,
a fateful, preciptious step toward
final overthrow, will be measured
by days or hours."
This apparently indicates a huge
scale aerial bombing of Britain
preceding an attempt at invasion.
To Scorn Peace Parleys
Gayda's assertions followed close-
ly on Prime Minister Winston
Churchill's ringing declaration in
a broadcast last night that Brit-
ain would scorn any peace parleys
and that the empire was girding
for a long war.
Britain’s plan of campaign,
Churchill disclosed, calls for a
two-year defensive war to guard
the British Isles against Nazi con-
quest and then in 1942 a counter-
offensive.
"We would rather see London
laid in ruins and ashes than en-
slaved," he declared. Britain Is
ready, he said, If Oermany- tries
an actual Invasion.
