丘吉爾語錄:向希特勒和墨索里尼致敬
“(希特勒)所做出的成就出乎人們的預料,可以說,這對于人類歷史是一大貢獻。”(1935年)
“如果我的國家吃了敗仗,我希望我們也能找到(希特勒)這樣出色的領袖。”(1937年)(摘自特魯漢諾夫斯基:《丘吉爾的一生》,北京出版社,1982年版,第267頁)
1927年對墨索里尼贊揚道:“我們會在你們的反對列寧主義的勝利斗爭中,始終誠心實意地和你們在一起……在國際方面,你們的活動支援了整個世界……意大利向我們表明應當如何同破壞勢力斗爭,……意大利為俄國毒藥制出了必要的解毒劑,從此以后,任何一個大國不會再對危害性疾病束手無策了”。《丘吉爾的一生》,第224頁。
“(墨索里尼)把在1919年可能陷入布爾什維主義的意大利人民拯救出來,……如果不是他的統治,而是另一個人的統治,那就很可能出現一個共產黨的意大利,……即使在戰爭的結局已經明確無疑的時候,墨索里尼他仍然會受到盟國的歡迎。……他的偉大的歷程仍不失為他個人-權力和長期統治的一個紀念碑。”丘吉爾:《第二次世界大戰回憶錄》第五卷,海南出版社,2003年版,第58頁。
“While all those formidable transformations were occurring in Europe, Corporal Hitler was fighting his long, wearing battle for the German heart. The story of that struggle cannot be read without admiration for the courage, the perseverance, and the vital force which enabled him to challenge, defy, conciliate, or overcome, all the authorities or resistance’s which barred his path. He, and the ever increasing legions who worked with him, certainly showed at this time, in their patriotic ardour and love of country, that there was nothing that they would not dare, no sacrifice of life, limb or liberty that they would not make themselves or inflict upon their opponents.”
丘吉爾如此贊美希特勒:“當歐洲發生這些可怕的變化時,希特勒下士正在為德國精神開展他長期孜孜不倦的奮斗。要讀懂這個故事,需要有對勇氣、不屈不撓和生命力的崇敬之心。正是這些力量鼓舞他挑戰、否定、安撫和征服一切權威和攔路虎。毫無疑問,他,和他越來越多的追隨者,此刻在他們的愛國激情和鄉土之愛中表現出來的,是無所畏懼,他們不怕犧牲自己的生命和自由,也不怕讓他們的敵人如此。”
And speaking in Rome on 20 January, 1927, Churchill praised Mussolini:
“I could not help being charmed, like so many other people have been, by Signor Mussolini’s gentle and simple bearing and by his calm, detached poise in spite of so many burdens and dangers. Secondly, anyone could see that he thought of nothing but the lasting good, as he understood it, of the Italian people, and that no lesser interest was of the slightest consequence to him. If I had been an Italian I am sure that I should have been whole-heartedly with you from the start to finish in your triumphant struggle against the bestial appetites and passions of Leninism. I will, however, say a word on an international aspect of fascism. Externally, your movement has rendered service to the whole world. The great fear which has always beset every democratic leader or a working class leader has been that of being undermined by someone more extreme than he. Italy has shown that there is a way of fighting the subversive forces which can rally the masses of the people, properly led, to value and wish to defend the honour and stability of civilised society. She has provided the necessary antidote to the Russian poison. Hereafter no great nation will be unprovided with an ultimate means of protection against the cancerous growth of Bolshevism.”
1927年丘吉爾在羅馬贊揚墨索里尼說:“像其他很多人一樣,我無法不著迷于墨索里尼溫和樸素的舉止和面對無數負擔與危難時泰然自若的風度,其次,任何人都能看出他考慮的是意大利人民的持久利益,如他所理解的那樣,而且毫無私心雜念。如果我是一個意大利人,我相信我會全身心地、從始至終地加入你們勝利的斗爭中,反對列寧主義的獸欲和狂怒……”
維基百科:丘吉爾(Churchill)詞條:(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Winston_Churchill)
In July 1925, a Commission of Inquiry reported generally favouring the miners, rather than the mine owners' position.[84] Baldwin, with Churchill's support proposed a subsidy to the industry while a Royal Commission prepared a further report.
That Commission solved nothing and the miners' dispute led to the General Strike of 1926, Churchill was reported to have suggested that machine guns be used on the striking miners. Churchill edited the Government's newspaper, the British Gazette, and, during the dispute, he argued that "either the country will break the General Strike, or the General Strike will break the country" and claimed that the fascism of Benito Mussolini had "rendered a service to the whole world," showing, as it had, "a way to combat subversive forces"—that is, he considered the regime to be a bulwark against the perceived threat of Communist revolution. At one point, Churchill went as far as to call Mussolini the "Roman genius... the greatest lawgiver among men."
1925年7月,一個調查委員會報告基本傾向于礦工而不是礦場主的立場。鮑德溫在丘吉爾的支持下提議對該行業進行補貼,同時,一個皇家委員會準備一份進一步的報告。
這個委員會沒解決任何問題,礦工們的抗議導致了1926年的總罷工。報道說,丘吉爾建議對罷工工人使用機槍。丘吉爾編輯政府報紙《不列顛公報》,在爭論中,他主張“要么國家摧毀總罷工,要么總罷工摧毀國家”,并宣稱本尼托·墨索里尼的法西斯主義“是對全世界的貢獻”,表現了對“破壞分子斗爭”的一種方式——也就是說,他認為政治體制是一座對抗共產主義革命迫在眉睫威脅的堡壘。有一次,丘吉爾走得太遠,甚至稱墨索里尼是“羅馬天才……人類最偉大的立法者”。
