192 Mr R.G. Menzies, Prime Minister, to Mr N. Chamberlain, U.K. Prime Minister

Cablegram unnumbered 4 September 1939,

Your broadcast message [l] moved Australia deeply. We ourselves
have proclaimed a state of war and I have broadcast on behalf of
the Commonwealth Government that we stand with Great Britain.

We firmly believe we have right on our side and in that strength
victory is sure.
