MATTER
OF
IMPORTANCE
Wliole
Future
of
World
Depends
Upon
Success
of
Anglo-American
Co-Operation,
Says
Churchill
LONDON',
Jan.
9.
Prime
Minister
Winston
Churchill
told
the
Pilgrims
Club,
in
an
address
today,
that
it
was'
the
fervent
hope
that
Viscount
Halifax,
the
new
ambassador
to
the
United
States,
may
prosper
in
as
momentous
a
mission
as
the
British
Empire
has
known
in
a
lifetime.
The
whole
future
of
the
world
and
civilization
based
on
Christian
ethics
depended
upon
future
relations
between
United
States
and
Great
Britain,
declared
Mr.
Churchill.
The
success
of
co-operation
of
the
English-speaking
nations
would
effect
the
welfare
of
generations
to
come.
The
British
Prime
Minister
hailed
it
as
"a
most
fortunate
occurrence"'
that
such
a
statesman
as
President
Franklin
D.
Roosevelt
should
be
at
the
head
of
the
United

government.

and
sometimes

and
lived
In

He
died
at

When
his

her
for

The

She
said
her
father
left

box
but
It
was
locked

there

It
