  • The War Situation: House Of Many Mansions

    —

    en

    Everyone wonders what is happening about the war. For several months past the Nazis have been uttering ferocious threats of what they are going to do to the Western Democracies-to the British and French Empires-when once they set about them. But so far it is the small neutral States that are bearing the brunt of…

  • Chiamati alle armi ai sacerdoti e ai chierici

    Tra le pungenti preoccupazioni addensatesi nell’animo Nostro per l’infierire di una guerra da Noi invano e con ogni mezzo deprecata, è particolarmente sentita quella che Ci viene dalla penosa situazione vostra, dilettissimi sacerdoti e chierici, che dai vostri spirituali ministeri o pacifici studi siete oggi per forza di cose subitamente allontanati e condotti in pieno…

  • 20 jours après le début de la Guerre

    en

    Depuis vingt jours, nous sommes en guerre. Chaque soir, je voudrais m’adresser directement à vous pour vous dire quelle est la situation militaire et diplomatique et vous donner les raisons de ma confiance. Je ne cesse de penser à vous, jeunes hommes qui êtes au combat, Françaises anxieuses mais stoïques, dont la pensée ne vit…

  • German armies invade Poland. Britain and France at war with Germany

    My District Leader, My Dear Danzigers: Not only you experience this moment with deepest emotion; nay, the entire German nation experiences it with you, and I, too, am aware of the greatness of the hour when I, for the first time, tread on the soil which German settlers occupied five centuries ago and which for…

  • War speech

    en

    In this solemn hour it is a consolation to recall and to dwell upon our repeated efforts for peace. All have been ill-starred, but all have been faithful and sincere. This is of the highest moral value–and not only moral value, but practical value–at the present time, because the wholehearted concurrence of scores of millions…

  • Declaration of War speech

    en

    I am speaking to you from the Cabinet Room at 10 Downing Street. This morning the British Ambassador in Berlin handed the German Government a final note stating that, unless we hear from them by 11 o’clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland, a state of war would exist…

  • On the Nazi Invasion of Poland

    I do not propose to say many words tonight. The time has come when action rather than speech is required. Eighteen months ago in this House I prayed that the responsibility might not fall upon me to ask this country to accept the awful arbitrament of war. I fear that I may not be able…

  • Soviet Peace Policy

    Since the third session of the Supreme Soviet the international situation has shown no change for the better. On the contrary, it has become even more tense. Steps taken by various governments to put an end to this state of tension have obviously proved inadequate. This is true of Europe. Nor has there been any…

    A tutto il mondo. Un’ora grave suona nuovamente per la grande famiglia umana; ora di tremende deliberazioni, delle quali non può disinteressarsi il Nostro cuore, non deve disinteressarsi la Nostra Autorità spirituale, che da Dio Ci viene, per condurre gli animi sulle vie della giustizia e della pace. Ed eccoCi con voi tutti, che in…

  • We must accept the German proposal

    —

    en

    The question of war and peace has entered a critical phase for us. Its solution depends entirely on the position which will be taken by the Soviet Union. We are absolutely convinced that if we conclude a mutual assistance pact with France and Great Britain, Germany will back off from Poland and seek a modus…
