Why Hitler

BY THE EDITOR

of the "Sunday Chronicle"

THE ROAR OF A PASSING AEROPLANE REACHED OUR EARS IN THE DINING, ROOM OF MR. WINSTON CHURCHILL'S HOUSE AT WESTERHAM, KENT.

Across his lunch table, Mr. Churchill said to me: "Every time I hear that, it is like a warning. I wish it had the same effect on everybody in this country."

And then he told me, almost to the day, when and how Germany would plunge the world into war-and the part that the German Air Force would play in the German plans.

It was a remarkable prediction then, for it was three years ago. Hitler was still protesting his friendship with Britain and his peaceful intentions toward the rest of Europe.

Mr. Churchill was one of the few British statesmen who saw clearly that Hitler war lying.

And Mr. Churchill was only a voice-without power in the nation's councils, for he had been out of office eight years.

It seemed shelved for ever.

Parson Sues His Successor

Away: £5 Damages

THE Rev. Joseph Henry James, formerly minister of Ruskin Road Methodist Church, Carshalton, brought an action at Epsom County Court recently against the present minister, the Rev. Nor- man Landreth, claiming £20 damages for wrongful imprisonment and assault.

The judge said it was a most regrettable case; assault and detention were most trivial. He awarded £5 damages and costs.

Bombs May Be

Code To Spies

Mr. James, who has now retired, said he went to have a talk over certain matters connected with the church and was called a sneak. When he rose to go he was pushed away from the door and held prisoner for at least five minutes.

Damages for Charity

His object was to free the church of a scandal. Any damages would be given to charity.

He came down to lunch that day in carpet slippers. At other times I have even seen him going round the house in workman's

blue overalls. I have seen him in carpet slippers at his desk at the Admiralty.

Mr. Churchill's strange hats used to amuse the public, but that was not why he wore them.

Ho Warned Us

He wore queer hats for the same) reason as he wears carpot slippers to please himself.

IT WAS NOT BY SARTORIAL TRICKS THAT HE CAPTURED THE PUBLIC IMAGINATION, BUT BY BRILLIANT DEEDS, SPEECII, AND WRITING. He warned the nation. In .article

in this newspaper more than two years ago he wrote:
