The address of Mr Yaroslav Stetzko, the redoubtable champion and leader of the A.B.N., and other documents to be found in this booklet are not only timely but of vital importance. They should be carefully read and studied by all adherents of national freedom, without which there can be no peace in the world.
In them is clearly set forth how the underground movements have intensified and are intensifying psychological warfare by substituting ideas for bullets in the mortal conflict against Bolshevik Imperialism. Also that it is faith anc( not force, heroism and not economic security, which are the mainstays in a struggle in which there can be no compromise.
As Mr Stetzko so emphatically points out, only the unity of the Western nations and their agreement with the national liberation movements behind the Iron Curtain can ensure final victory. Yet, he is under no illusion that this will take time, and that until the West realises that the mightiest of all weapons is the national idea, the flag of liberty must be kept flying by the subjugated nations and peoples.
They are the Jehanne d’Arc in the enormous struggle of Freedom against Despotism. Once in the fosse of Orleans, Jehanne cried : “ Be ready, when the flag-end of my banner touches the boulevard.” And, when it did so, her doubting soldiers shouted : “ Jehanne, it touches it! ” Thereon she called back : “ All is yours — enter!”
So may it be with the doubting West, led by those who, having suffered most, have dedicated their lives to freedom. Therefore I recommend this booklet to all lovers of freedom, for in it they will discover the oriflamme of their liberty.
