Abstract
THE fundamental war aims of France and Great Britain have been stated clearly by the Prime Minister as being “to redeem Europe from the perpetual and constantly recurring fear of German aggression, and to enable the people of Europe to preserve their independence and their liberties”. Mr. Chamberlain's clear-cut phrasing expresses without ambiguity the spirit of determination with which the peoples of France and Great Britain have entered on the task which lies before them. It reflects with crystal clearness their resolve to restore to Europe conditions in which all its nations, without discrimination, may live side by side in the firm assurance that each will be free to develop to the full and at will in accordance with its traditions and culture under a settled order, of which the sanctity is recognized and respected as inviolable equally by all.
