DERISIVE REPLY TO HITLER
MR. MENZIES SAYS "NO SURRENDER"
“The answer to Hitler's 95 minutes speech in the Kroll Opera House, Berlin, would be derisive laughter
on the part of the whole British world, said the Prime Minister at a patriotic rally on the Western
oval, Footscray, yesterday afternoon.
All Hitler had said in 95 minutes could be replied to in half a minute, said Mr. Menzies. Our challenge
would be "Peace, yes, but on our terms, Hitler, not yours."”
