"BE IT LONG OR SHORT, WE SHALL GO THROUGH WITH OUR AMERICAN BROTHERS WITH OUR UTMOST STRENGTH TO THE VERY END" A stirring speech on the Anglo-American war effort in Italy and the Pacific, with numerous references to the alliance with America and an extensive passage on the government's social policy and plans for peacetime. Churchill now feels victory is certain: "we shall reach the end of our journey in good order and that the tragedy which threatened the whole world and might have put out its lights and left our children and descendants in darkness and bondage, perhaps for centuries, will not come to pass." He speaks about the conquest of the Marshall Islands and recalls the folly of Pearl Harbor: "What fools the Japanese ruling caste were to bring against themselves the mighty, latent war-energies of the great Republic for the sake of carrying out a base and squalid ambuscade." He does not now think there will be as long an interval as he previously thought between the defeat of Hitler and the subjugation of Japan. "But be it long or short, we shall go through with our American brothers with our utmost strength to the very end." On the Italian campaign, he does "not doubt that we shall be the victors...at the Anzio bridgehead." The latter portion of the speech promises "cradle to the grave" national health insurance and other social reforms.
