By U.S. Press

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12 (Reuter), -Mr. Winston Churchill's broadcast of yesterday is the object of much comment.

The "Washington Post" says that throughout his career Mr. Churchill has never hesitated to tell the pubile the truth no matter how unpalatable and bitter. That is why the note of dogged confidence which he sounded rings true.

The "Baltimore Sun," recalling the brilliance which Mr. Churchill has often shown, states that it was not brillance which spoke to England and the world yesterday through Mr. Churchill's lips. It was character.

In the epic hour, scl-ambition and love of place and power have dis- appeared. Devotion rules this man devotion to the ashes of his fathers and the temple of his gods.
