His jaw set, he rumbled forth in the House of Commons and in broadcasts the fierce, noble words which bolstered morale when it was lowest. In his very first speech as Prime Minister in the Commons, May 13, 1940, he gave the country his vision, both bleak and fiery, of the long strug- gle ahead: 'T would say to the House, as I said to those who have joined this government: 'I have nothing to offer 'but blood, toil, tears, and sweat.' "We have before us an ordeal of the most grievous kind. We have before us many, many long months of struggle and suffering. "You 'ask: 'What is our policy?' I will say: 'It is to wage war by sea, land, and air with all our might, and with all the strength that God can give us; to wage war against a monstrous tryranny, never surpassed in the dark lamentable catalogue of human crime.' "That is our policy." "You ask: 'What is our aim?' I can answer in one word: 'Victory.'"' Here is a selection of passages from some of his thost notable speeches: "We shall not flag or fail.

"We shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight = the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in e hills. "We shall never surrender; and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and liberation of the old."
