For all the world's sake, let us have clarity at last, and decision, and the determination to do in- stantly and with thoroughness the right thing at the right moment.

The safe and successful elucida- tion of the dangerous problems that have accrued from as un- imaginative and reckless foreign policy will demand qualities of greatness in the man who is made chiefly responsible for the task...

Does Mr. Churchill possess such qualities? Wherever you go to- day you will find people ready to give an allirmativo answer,

It will be admitted that i the course of his extraordinarily lively career, Mr. Churchill bas made mistakes but they have been errors inseparable from the exercise of kreat gifts. And even Mr. Churchill's bitterest opponents cannot but own that he in uncommonly gifted.

To younger students of politics it is a most puzzling mystery that Mr. Churchill was not Prime Minister long ago. They look at his record and discover that he his occupied almost every other Government position.
