Churchill Text
Says Atlantic Bottle
Worse for Present
Nv the Associated Press.

! BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 26.-Selected
passages from Prime Minister
Churchill's speech today before
the Central Council of the Nd-
tional Union of Conservative and
Unionist Associations, his polit-
icdl party:
A year almost to the day has
passed since I addressed you here.
We had then made our great
recovery after the collapse OF
France
But perhaps you remember that
I went out of my way to warn you
We should not expect to have sue
cesses uncheckured by reverses.
Since then we have had an almost
unbroken series OF military mis-
fortunes
The Battle of the Atlantic, upon
which all the time our power to live
and to carry on the war effort de-
pends, after turning markedly In our
favor for five or six months is now
for the time being-and only for the
time being-worsened again.
1 cannot offer this morning any
guarantee that we are at the end
of our misfortunes.
Warns of Further Blows.
We are engaged in q deadly grap-
pie with two heavily armed op-
ponents. both of whom have been
preparing for years and bending
their whole national life to fulfill
ment Of the gospel Of war
In such q situation 1t would be
foolish for us not to be prepared
for further heavy blows and am
not here to speak smooth words or
to make cheering promises. But this
I will venture to say:
That just as last year I warned
you that you could not expect to
have successes uncheckuered by re-
verses, so now in 1912 we need not
expect to have reverses unrelieved
by successes.
When we look back over the
somber year that has passed and
forward to the many trials that lie
before us, no one can doubt for a
moment the enormous improvement
in our war position. ."
Whereas a year ago all we could
do was to fight stubbornly and dog
gedly on as we had done when
we were alone in former wars-and
not without ultimate successive
have now at our side mighty allies.
Whereas last year 1t was
impossible to state any definite
method by which we should come
out victorious except our confidence
that would be the end, it now seems
very likely we and our allies
cannot lose this war, and with 1t
all that makes life worth living,
except through our own fault or
their own fault, our own failure to
use our combined strength, over
whelming strength when fully mo-
bilized and to use the multi
plying opportunities which, as the
months pass by, will present them
selves to US.
Best Service Stressed.
We must, therefore. examine
searchingly and repeatedly our own
conduct and character and the
quality of our war effort in every
form and direction. We must make
sure that our fellow countrymen
and our allies have the best service
from US which we can give.
Naturally, when one is burdened
by the very hard labor of the task
and its cares, sorrows and response
bilities, there may sometimes steal
across the mind a feeling of i'm

McCarran Bill Asks
Return Of Arlington,
Alexandra 10 D. {.
Measure Would Define
Boundaries, Repeal
1916 Retrocession Act

A new proposal for settling the
boundary dispute between the Dis
trict and Virginia was before the
Senate today.
Challenging the constitutionality
of the Retrocession Act OF 1S46,
under which Virginia reacquired the
County of Alexandria from the Dis
trict, Chairman McCarran of the
Senate District Committee late yes
terday introduced = bill to repeal
that act and to define clearly the
boundaries of the District.
The House District Committee
agreed to defer action on other pro-
posals for settling the boundary dis
pute until the Senate acts on the
McCarran measure, which would re-
turn to the District about 80 square
miles embracing Arlington and Alex
andria.
Act Called Vain, Illegal.
Pointing out that the Federal
Government in recent years has
spent tens of millions OF dollar"
for buildings in Virginia, Senator
McCarran argued that the Retroces-
sion Act was a vain, unconstitu-
tional and illegal act"
He challenged its constitutionality
on two grounds: First, that there
was no provision in the Constitution
for retrocession of Federal reserva-
tions, and second. that the original
establishment of the District was .
contract involving the Federal Gov
ernment, the States Of Maryland
and Virginia and 10 private property
owners and by retroceSsion the Fed
eral Government violated that con-
tract.
Commission Is Proposed.
Senator McCarran's bill directs
that the President shall appoint =
commission of five members-one an
officer of the United States, one an
officer of the District, one a resi-
dent of Virginia, one resident OF
that portion Of the District which
originally was ceded to the United
States by Virginia and the fifth
member to be named chairman Of
the commission.
The group would be required to
make recommendations for rene
dial legislation within go days after
enactment of the legislation and
after it had made an investigation
of the problems involved.
The primary purpose of bills be-
fore the House District Committee
is to settle the question of who has
jurisdiction over the new National
Airport on the Virginia side of the
Potomac River. One bill would
place the airport entirely within the
District while another would place
it within Virginias boundaries but
give it the status of a Federal
reservation. A companion bill to
the latter measure was passed by
the recent Virginia General As
sembly.

patience at the airy and jaunty
detachment of some Of those critics
who feel so confident of their knowl-
edge and so sure of their ability to
put things right.
If I should be forced-as I hope
I shall not be-to yield to such
temptation, I hope you will remem-
Der how difficult it is to combine an
attitude of proper meekness and
humility toward assailants at home
with those combative and pugna-
cious qualities which are the spirit
of the offensive and counterattack
which We are all agreed were never
more needful than now against the
foreign enemy.
We have succeeded in preserving
our traditional free institutions. free
speech, full and active parliamentary
government and free press. We have
done that under conditions which
at times were more strained and
convulsive than ever bsset a civilized
state.
Appeals for National Unity.
But there is one limit which
must ask be respected. I cannot
allow. while I bear chief RESPONSE
bility. q propaganda to disturb the
Army, which now is so strong and
solid. or to weaken confidence OF the
country and armed forces in the
quality and character of our devoted
corps Of oficers-guards or line,
stan or regimental-to whom we
must all look not only as leaders
Of audacious enterprise abroad but
as our indispensable weapon against
invasion here at home -.
We must confront our perils and
trials with that national unity which
cannot be broken and a national
force that Is inexhaustible
Thus, and thus alone. can we be
worthy champions of the grand al
lance of nearly 30 states and ma
tions which without our assistance
would never have come into being,
but which has now only to march on
together until tyranny is trampled
down ..
The time has not come to form
judgments about the past. All our
thoughts all our willpower must be
concentrated upon what lies around
us and before us.
Yet, as your leader, shall hope
when the whole story has been told
it will be said of the Conservative
party, in Parliament and through
out the land. They strove for peace
too long, but when war came they
proved themselves the main part OF
the rock upon which the salvation of
Britain was founded and the free
dom of mankind regained"
