(Editor's note: Following i a resume
of the career of Sir Winston Churchill,
who retired yesterday as Prime Min
ister of Great Britain.)
London (U.P.) Sir Winston
Churchill statesman, warrior,
author also was possessed of
supreme audacity.
He marched out of the Vic
torian era into the second Eliza
bethan age possessed of the will
to dare.
He crashed two airplanes, rode
in a cavalry charge, braved Boer
bullets and fought in France.
He won his first election on
his colorful record of escape
from a prison in the Boer war in
South Africa.
He switched political parties
as he pleased and held every
major ministry in the British
Cabinet.
Failed in Dardanelles
As First Lord of the Admi
ralty he deployed the battle fleet
for World War I without wait
ing for orders from the Cabinet.
He nearly wrecked his reputa
tion one year later by trying to
ram the Royal Navy through the
Dardanelles. He failed.
But this same audacity scored
its greatest success in 1940 when
Churchill as Prime Minister
. talked Hitler out of invading
these unprepared islands.
Durable as he was audacious,
Churchill outlived the leaders he
fought beside and against. He
was 15 years older than Adolf
Hitler, whom he labeled a
"bloodthirsty guttersnipe."
He was nine years the senior
of Benito Mussolini, that "bloat
ed bullfrog of the Pontine
Marshes . . . That whipped
jackal."
He was four years older than
Josef Stalin, whose Russia he
found to be "a riddle wrapped
in a mystery inside an enigma."
Born Prematurely
He was eight years older than
Franklin D. Roosevelt, "the
greatest American friend we
have ever known."
His American mother, the for
mer Jennie Jerome, was helped
from a St. Andrews Ball at Blen
heim Palace Nov. 30, 1874, and
gave birth to him two months
prematurely in a cloakroom off
the dance floor.
He hurried to Cuba in 1895
as a part-time war correspondent
to see action with the Spanish
Army in the Cuba uprising. He
came under fire for the first
time on his 21st birthday in
jungle outside Arroyo Blanco.
In Cuba also he picked up two
lifelong habits, the cigar and the
siesta.

WINSTON CHURCHILL
Had Colorful War Record
At 22, he started a remarkable
writing career that produced a
million words of history -and, in
1899, one novel, "Savrola," con
cerning which he later said:
"I have persistently urged ray
friends to abstain from reading
it."
Won Noble Prize
He won the Nobel prize for
literature in 1953.
At 23 Churchill fought with
the 31st- Pun j an Infantry on In
dia's northwest frontier.
He rode with the 2 1st Lancers
at Omdurman in the last great
cavalry charge in history, re
turned to Britain a hero, and
ran for Parliament. He lost.
So he went back to war in
South Africa in 1899 to cover the
Boer war for London's Morning
Post. He got captured, escaped
in storybook fashion and -came
home this time a real hero.
Thereupon he won a Conserva
tive seat in Parliament. He was
26. Victoria still was queen.
When World War II setbacks
in Norway finished off the hesti
tant Neville Chamberlain, King
George VI summoned Churchill
to form a cabinet on May 10,
1940, the day Hitler's Panzers
crashed down through the Ar
dennes to smash Franch.
One Man's Words
There followed that remark
able time when the, British em
pire's chief defense was the glory
of one man's tongue.
"Blood, toil, tears and sweat . .
We shall fight them in the
beaches . . . Their finest hour . . .
So many owed so much to so
few."
The greatest speeches of 1940

For the second year in a row
the University of Calif ornia held
a five-day seminar on human
relations for foremen and super

at developing more satisfactory

"This seminar," Ross said, "is

The greatest political blow he
ever took was the 1945 election
defeat. He could not understand
it.
On Oct. 26, 1951, the British
voters gave Churchill his dearest

confidence in his leadership and
provided him wjth'atlast fling

Red China Declared .
In No Shape To Fight
Any Kind of War Now
Hong Kong (U.R)-Red China
is in no shape to fight either a
major or a minor war. But that
is no assurance that the Peiping
government will not start one.
The answer to that contradic
tory statement is bound up in
the internal situation in China
today.
Communist China, with nearly
600,000,000 people, is short of
food. Floods, drought and in
sects have slowed both agricul
ture and industrial progress.
The Red Army needs a
thorough overhaul. It has per
haps as many as 4,000,000 men
in uniform but not all have
weapons. It needs more youth
and more brains if it is to fight
a modern war.
Evidence exists, and even ap
pears in official Communist pub
lications, that considerable sabo
tage is being conducted by anti
Red agents and Chinese Nation
alist sympathizers. Frequently
the sabotage is effective.
The Communists need to weed
out ineffectual officials who clut
ter their party and lower-level
governmental organizations. In
efficiency, in some cases disre
gard for the Communist pro
gram, have diseased provincial,
county and city governments.
The Communist Party needs
better qualified leaders, espe
cially in administrative positions.
Considering these self-admitted
elements, it seems on the
surface ridiculous that the Com
munists are seriously thinking
about going to war over Formosa.
Why, then, is there such anx
iety over the possibility of an
outbreak of war this spring?
The answer is that the Nation
alist stronghold of Formosa rep
resents not only a military but a
political threat to Red control of
the mainland.
The feeling among experts
here is that the time must-come
when the Communists will have
to conquer Formosa or try to.
If they do not, they will risk
the loss of popular faith on the
mainland in the strength of their
regime.
It is possible the Reds may
figure that going to war over
Formosa could do what Pearl
Harbor. did in the United States.
The answer to the whole busi
ness seems to be that it is up to
the - Communists to decide
whether there will be war.
Fountain pen sales were about
1,000,000 in 1920 and grew to
42,000,000 in 1953, but still lag
ged behind the ball points which
topped 12,000,000.
The United States has seven
per cent of the world's popula
tion and only six per cent of
the world's land.
Sugar is Hawaii's chief bus
iness, producing one-fortieth of
