Blood, Sweat And Tears
Winston Churchill May 13, 1940
On Friday evening last I received from His Majesty the mission to form a new ***istration.
It was the evident will of Parliament and the nation that this should be conceived on the broadest
possible basis and that it should include all parties.
I have already completed the most important part of this task. A war cabinet has been formed of five members, reprenting, with the Labor, Opposition and Liberals, the unity of the nation.
It was necessary that this should be done in one single day on account of the extreme urgency and rigor of events. Other key positions were filled yesterday. I am submitting a further list to the King tonight. I hope to complete the appointment of principal Ministers during tomorrow.
The appointment of other Ministers usually takes a little longer. I trust when Parliament meets again this part of my task will be completed and that the ***istration will be complete in all respects.
I considered it in the public interest to suggest to the Speaker that the Hou should be summoned today. At the end of todays proceedings, the adjournment of the Hou will be propod until May 2l with provision for earlier meeting if need be.
Business for that will be notified to M. P. s at the earliest opportunity.
I now invite the Hou by a resolution to record its approval of the steps taken and declare its confidence in the new government. The resolution
That this Hou welcomes the formation of a government reprenting the united and inflexible resolve of the nation to procute the war with Germany to a victorious conclusion.
To form an ***istration of this scale and complexity is a rious undertaking in itlf. But we are in the preliminary Pha of one of the greatest battles in history. We are in action at any other points-in Norway and in Holland-and we have to be prepared in the Mediterranean.
Winston Churchill “At four o’clock this morning, Hitler attacked and invaded Russia. All his usual formalities of perfidy were obrved with scrupulous technique. A non-aggression treaty had been solemnly signed and was in force between the two countries. No complaint had been made by Germany of its non-fulfillment. Under its cloak of fal confidence, the German armies drew up in immen strength along a line which stretched from the White Sea to the Black Sea. And their air fleets and armoured divisions, slowly and methodically. took up their stations. Then suddenly, without declaration of war, without even an ultimatum, the German bombs rained down from the sky upon the Russian cities.
The German troops violated the Russian frontiers. And an hour later, the German ambassador, who ’til the night before was lavishing his assurances of friendship-almost of alliance-upon the Russians, called upon the Russian Foreign Minister to tell him that a state of war existed between Germany and Russia.
Thus was repeated, on a far larger scale, the same kind of outrage against every form of signed compact and international faith which we had witnesd in Norway, in Denmark, in Holland, in Belgium. And which Hitler’s accomplice and jackal Mussolini, so faithfully imitated in the ca of Greece. All this was no surpri to me. In fact, I gave clear and preci warnings to Stalin of Stalin of what was coming. I gave him warnings, as I have given warnings to others before. I can only hope that the warnings did not fall unheeded. All we know at prent is that the Russian people are defending their native soil, and that their leaders have called upon them to resist to the utmost. ”
The Russian danger is therefore our danger and the danger of the United States. Just as the cau of any Russian fighting for his hearth and home is the cau of free men and free people in every quarter of the globe. Let us learn the lessons already taught by such cruel experience. Let us re-double our exertion and strike with united strength while life and power remain.”
Thank you!
