The Rt. Hon. WINSTON S. CHURCHILL,
C.H.; M.P.
The objection was made by a reader a few weeks ago that no sailor, no airman, and only one soldier was to speak in this series. Last week another listener replied that there was nothing in this, as even when war was declared, the great strategy was not determined by sailor, airman, or soldier, but by the civil government.
Tonight's talk, therefore, is doubly interesting inasmuch as Mr. Winston Churchill is a soldier who has seen active service in three campaigns and is not only a statesman as well, but was First Lord of the Admiralty when the Great War broke out. Soldier, statesman, historian-it may be doubted if anyone alive today has had more varied experience or possesses more brilliant qualities.
