CHURCHILL
POLICY
Meaning of
New World
LONDON, May 27 (A.A.P.).
Mr. Churchill yesterday fired
the first broadside in the general
election when he toured his con
stituency of Woodford. He was
feted like a film star during a
six-hour outing. At one stage he
called in at a children's tea
party, where he donned a paper
hat and kissed one or two of the
toddlers.
At Wanstcad Mr. Churchill,
while regretting that the Labor-
ites and Liberals "could not' stay
with us to finish off- Japan,",
said he did not reproach tliem,
"but someone had to carry on
the show."
Britain and Russia wc-re going
to remain friends,, he said. None
could separate us. - He encoun
tered only two hecklers. To one
who asked "What about the food
shortage ?" he retorted, , "I did
not come here to promise you beer
and skittles."
Tire Prime Minister warned- the
people' not . to throw ,'-;away; the
fruits of victory. These, were the
right to carry through the great
i principles of freedom. He added:
"Wc must ensure that the: new
world does not mean trampling-
down the liberty and freedom of
the individual and setting up
'police' governments which ' arc
not responsible to Parliaments
elected by a free and fair . elec
tion."
He told one crowd that al
though victory in Europe had
been won, enormous problems lay
before the United Nations. He
urged the people to make, con-
' tinuous and serious study. dfY'the
political situation in lEurope,
where a continent lay distracted
by passions and hatreds rarely
known before in history.
Finishing Japan
Mr. Churchill also said: "We
shall make our way through all
our troubles and finish off the
Japanese in the closest accord
with our great American ally. It
Is my earnest hope that the
struggle may not be as long as
some people think." . j ,
Political writers state " that a
Cabinet Defence committee. under
Mr. Churchill's chairmanship .will
be responsible for the general di-
rection of the war against Japan.
Mr; Churchill, in deciding that,
there was no longer need for; a
War Cabinet, considered that the -
Ministers responsible for the main
branches of domestic and -vljn-
perial policy as well as the - ser
vice Ministers, should constitute
the Inner Council.
