The Washington Conference
From HUGH DUNDAS
Washington, June 27.
It looks like being another personal triumph for Sir Winston Churchill.
He scored a big success when he addressed 40 congressional leaders at a White House luncheon yesterday.
Many of them had been fiercely critical of Bri- tain's role in the Far East crisis.
But after listening to Sir Winston, who told them amongst other things that "jaw, jaw is always better than war, war," many congressmen expressed sympathy with his viewpoint.
In the long run it is these leaders of Congress who have the last word on United States foreign policy.
