Reports To Cheering House Of Commons Shows Determination
London Sept 7 U P Poland fights grimly for every yard of ground as Neville Chamberlain told a cheering House of Commons Britain is prepared for a war to the end against Hitlerism. He said arrangements with France for cooperation are working smoothly and rapidly gaining momentum. He cited Polish ambassador Count Edward Raczinski saying the British war cabinet is unflinchingly determined to smash Hitlerism and noted the inclusion of Churchill and Eden in the cabinet. He described countermeasures for the sinking of the liner Athenia and other ships and said a convoy system is under sway. The admiralty has organized protections as German submarines sank several British merchant ships and RAF raids on Kiel Canal reported two German warships hit. He noted extensive reconnaissance over Northwestern Germany and 10,000,000 leaflets dropped to urge Germans to abandon the war folly. He would not answer whether there is any prospect of British French military operations in the West to relieve Poland.
