49. Mr. V. Adamsasked the Prime Minister whether His Majesty's Government are considering making a preliminary statement of war aims, including the liberation of the Czechs from German rule?
§ The Prime MinisterThe war aims of His Majesty's Government can best be appreciated by reference to those principles which have been enunciated by them, and for the defence of which this country entered the War. These principles have commanded the support and approval of all sections in this country, and no doubt further opportunities for elaborating them in detail will occur. In answer to the last part of the question I would refer my hon. Friend to my message to Dr. Benes in which I said that we looked forward, through the triumph of the principles for which we have taken up arms, to the release of the Czech people from foreign domination.
