Croyden, Oct. 5.—The present frontier of Asia was on the Elbe, "but we should be very foolish to allow what is taking place before our eyes and dinned into our cars every morning to have any effect on our minds," Mr Winston Churchill, Britain's wartime Prime Minister, said here today.

He added: "It would be foolish to repeat again the mistakes of the past and to be drawn under even worse and far less excusable circumstances into a life and death struggle for the mere existence of our country."
