The Nazis have fastened with avidity on the Premier's assertion that London will be "fought street by street" for here, ready to hand, is their excuse for not regarding the capital as an open city. His reference to the defence of "every village, every town, and every city" is interpreted by a German News Agency as a direct incitement to francs-tireurs, and for the fate of these misguided defenders, against whom terrible reprisals will be launched, Mr. Churchill will be solely responsible. But the Home Guard remains unmoved.
