Nor is the Navy the only fighting force on
which our liberty depends; for we depend upon the United Service of sea
and land and air. Moreover, all our fighting forces, put together,
could not have done their proper share toward building up the Empire,
nor could they defend it now, unless they always had been, and are
still, backed by the People as a whole, by every patriot man and woman,
boy and girl.
But while it takes all sorts to make the world, and very many different
sorts to make and keep our British Empire of the Free, it is quite as
true to say that all our other sorts together could not have made, and
cannot keep, our Empire, unless the Royal Navy had kept, and keeps
today, true watch and ward over all the British highways of the sea.
None of the different parts of the world-wide British Empire are joined
together by the land. All are joined together by the sea. Keep the
seaways open and we live. Close them and we die.
This looks, and really is, so very simple, that you may well wonder why
we have to speak about it here.
