Mr.. Churchill said that he had
read the other day" that an Eng

would have to become the 49th State
OF the Union. He said, too, that he
had read only yesterday an editors
argument that the United States
should not be asked to re-enter the
British Empire.

where between these scarecrow ex-
tremes. We must find the means
and the method of working together

anguish, but in times of peace with

Prevent War in Peace. +i.sa
For, said Mr.. Churchill, 1T is in
the years of peace that wars are
prevented and that these founda-
tons are laid upon which the noble
structures of the future can be built.
But" he cautioned, peace will
not be preserved by~pious sentiments
expressed in terms of official girl
maces and diplomatic correctitude. ..
1T will not be preserved" he said,
by casting aside in dangerous
times the panoply of warlike
strength. There must be earnest
thought. There must be faithful
perseverance and foresight.
"Greatheart must have the sword
and armor to guard the pill
grims on their way. Above all,

shouts and applause had died down,

Assembly was not to be denied
however, and the general then re-
turned to the microphone with a.
broad grin on his face and declared

career to attend joint Assembly in
the State of his mothers birth.
The Army Chief of Staff said, in
a eulogy to Mr.. Churchill, that dur
ing the dark days of the war. the

former British Prime Minister'S
value in this regard. he added.
