[00:00.000] 作曲 : Mangalf
[00:07.350]I am speaking to you from the cabinet room at 10 Downing Street
[00:15.041]This morning the British ambassador in Berlin handed the German government a final note
[00:23.500]stating that unless we heard from them by 11 o'clock that they were prepared at once to withdraw their troops from Poland,
[00:34.300]a state of war would exist between us
[00:39.500]I have to tell you now that no such undertaking has been received,
[00:44.750]and that consequently this country is at war with Germany
[00:55.000]You can imagine what a bitter blow it is to me that all my long struggle to win peace has failed
[01:05.800]Yet I cannot believe that there is anything more, or anything different, that I could have done and that would have been more successful
[01:15.700]Up to the very last it would have been quite possible to have arranged a peaceful and honourable settlement between Germany and Poland
[01:27.270]But Hitler would not have it
[01:30.000]He had evidently made up his mind to attack Poland whatever happened,
[01:36.000]and although he now says he put forward reasonable proposals which were rejected by the Poles, that is not a true statement
[01:46.900]The proposals were never shown to the Poles, nor to us,
[01:51.779]and though they were announced in the German broadcast on Thursday night,
[01:57.400]Hitler did not wait to hear comments on them, but ordered his troops to cross the Polish frontier the next morning
[02:07.000]His action shows convincingly that there is no chance of expecting that this man will ever give up his practice of using force to gain his will
[02:18.000]He can only be stopped by force
[02:20.500]We and France are to-day, in fulfillment of our obligations, going to the aid of Poland,
[02:28.373]who is so bravely resisting this wicked and unprovoked attack upon her people
[02:36.200]We have a clear conscience
[02:38.334]We have done all that any country could do to establish peace
[02:43.208]but a situation in which no word given by Germany's ruler could be trusted
[02:49.221]and no people or country could feel themselves safe had become intolerable
[02:55.623]And now that we have resolved to finish it,
[02:58.650]I know that you will all play your part with calmness and courage
