English subtitles for clip: File:THEY ASKED FOR IT! (1942).webm

1
00:00:07,620 --> 00:00:10,720
Those bombs spell one word
for New Zealand, it is

2
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:11,200
attack.

3
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,260
Every day the bombers take off
from New Zealand soil

4
00:00:14,260 --> 00:00:16,140
to patrol the approaches to 
New Zealand.

5
00:00:16,720 --> 00:00:19,340
We're not waiting for an enemy
to come, we're loading

6
00:00:19,340 --> 00:00:23,280
bombs now, 250 and 500 pounds 
of death and destruction

7
00:00:23,280 --> 00:00:23,960
at a time.

8
00:00:24,780 --> 00:00:27,140
Every day our bombers go up
with our bombs to

9
00:00:27,140 --> 00:00:28,800
seek him out, should he come.

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,520
There won't be any strategical
retreats or tactical withdrawals here.

11
00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:36,380
We can't fall back on Antarctica,
we've got to hit

12
00:00:36,380 --> 00:00:38,720
or be hit, and we've got 
to hit hard.

13
00:00:39,160 --> 00:00:41,240
We've got to go and meet our 
enemy, we've got

14
00:00:41,240 --> 00:00:43,600
to stop fighting backwards
and start fighting back.

15
00:00:43,940 --> 00:00:46,440
We've got to push him off,
then chase him far

16
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:49,480
and fast and chase him home,
 and keep chasing him.

17
00:00:55,640 --> 00:00:58,100
We can rely on these machines
for the job.

18
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,320
We can rely on the bombs to
smash him when

19
00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:00,800
they hit him.

20
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,160
We can rely on the men who 
fly the planes

21
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:04,720
and the men who aim the bombs.

22
00:01:05,440 --> 00:01:07,640
They have to rely on us to 
keep them supplied.

23
00:01:08,340 --> 00:01:10,360
They need more planes, more bombs.

24
00:01:10,900 --> 00:01:14,020
They need a vast ground organization,
mechanics to keep them

25
00:01:14,020 --> 00:01:15,960
flying, fighter planes to
 attack with them.

26
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:19,200
They need all of us behind them,
 throwing our weight

27
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:21,860
behind the offensive they are 
getting ready on the airfields

28
00:01:21,860 --> 00:01:22,340
of New Zealand.

29
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:31,900
This week, all New Zealand must
 swing in behind the

30
00:01:31,900 --> 00:01:34,200
big campaign to sell bombs for
 the Air Force.

31
00:01:34,740 --> 00:01:35,700
Guilt-edged investments.

32
00:01:36,360 --> 00:01:40,520
They're worth £1, £10 and £100,
 but they cost less

33
00:01:40,520 --> 00:01:41,660
and pay 3%.

34
00:01:42,260 --> 00:01:44,500
It's up to all of us to 
set the campaign

35
00:01:44,500 --> 00:01:46,960
going in a good take-off, 
and bring it home

36
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:48,060
to a three-point landing.

37
00:01:48,840 --> 00:01:50,820
We're investing in the 
Royal New Zealand Air Force.

38
00:01:51,160 --> 00:01:54,280
We're investing in victory, 
and we're investing in survival.

39
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:56,920
It's a case of who hits 
first and who hits

40
00:01:56,920 --> 00:01:57,300
hardest.

41
00:01:58,020 --> 00:02:00,220
The harder we work to turn our 
savings into national

42
00:02:00,220 --> 00:02:02,980
savings, the harder our fighting 
men can hit Japan.

43
00:02:03,880 --> 00:02:06,920
This week, it's bonds for bombs 
and bonds for bombers,

44
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,140
bonds for the Air Force of
New Zealand, cash down

45
00:02:10,140 --> 00:02:12,500
and a money-back guarantee.

46
00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:14,940
Let's all stand up and talk
back at Japan with

47
00:02:14,940 --> 00:02:17,780
fighting talk, the sort of talk 
the Japanese will understand,

48
00:02:18,340 --> 00:02:19,480
the talk they've asked for.

49
00:02:19,940 --> 00:02:22,320
Talk in terms of attack with
bombs and planes to

50
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:25,680
carry them, and men to show
Japan that New Zealand

51
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,340
has a dynamite punch.

52
00:02:29,780 --> 00:02:31,600
We're not thinking of defense anymore.

53
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,960
It's attack now, and attack
means the last man and

54
00:02:34,960 --> 00:02:36,220
the last man's last penny.

55
00:02:36,220 --> 00:02:39,860
Remember, this week, 
it's bonds for bombers.
