Churchill’s Call to Action In his victory speech presented to the British people on May 13, 1945, at the conclusion of World War II in E.urope, Prime Minister Winston Churchill stated: “I wish I could tell you to-night that all our toils and troubles were over. . . . I must warn you . . . that there is still a lot to do, and that you must be prepared for further efforts of mind and body and further sacrifices to great causes.” With farsightedness, anticipating the spread of Communism, he said: “On the continent of Europe we have yet to make sure that . . . the words ‘freedom’, ‘democracy’, and ‘liberation’ are not distorted from their true meaning as we have understood them.” Then he uttered a challenging call: “Forward, unflinching, unswerving, indomitable, till the whole task is done and the whole world is safe and clean.”—Italics ours.
