(AP) Great Britain flung into Nazi Germany' teeth tonight the defiant decision to light on alone ''unconquerable' from the litle island seat of world wide enipn-e. Prime Minister Churchill, two-minute radio address, said the light would go on until the curse of Hitler is lifted from the brows of mankind. He told his neonle that thev now have become "the sole champions mi arms to aeiena tne world cause. "We shall' do our best to be- worthy oi mis mgn nonor. fahortiy.

alter he spoke, the British Koveninunt announced that last dark hours of yesterday, before France asked her Nazi foe for peace, Britain had offered to unite France as one nation to continue the struggle. The "indissoluble" union would nave been complete, with die gov eminent, all-inclusive citizenship and joint organs of defense, foreign financial and economic policies. Apparetly the French rejected the offer, thus bringing about fall of Premier Paul Reynaud's cabinet and the subsequent French plea for peace with Germany. This development made it plainer than ever that England herself is menaced by the triple threat of blockade, bombardment and direct invasion from Hitler's Legions. "What has happened in France," Churchill said, "makes no difference" to Britain's "faith and purpose." He continued: "'We shall defend our island home and with the British empire around us we shall fight on, unconquerable until the curse of Hitler- is lifted from the brows of mankind.

"We are sure that, in the end all will come right. Tlte news from France is very bad, and I grieve for the gallant French people who have fallen into un.s Lernole misfortune.
