Churchill asserted that "shadow has fallen upon scenes so lately lighted by Allied victory. Nobody knows what Soviet Russia and its communist international organization intends to do in the immediate future or what are the limits, if any, to their expansive and proselyting tendencies." Britain's wartime leader, in cn address prepared for delivery at Westminster College, gravely declared that the prevention of another war "can only le achieved by reaching now, in 15) 10, a good understanding on all points with Russia under general authority of the United Nations Organization." While he said he docs not believe Russia wants war, Mr. Churchill attributed to the Russians a "desire for "fruits of war and indefinite expansion of their power and doctrines." He cautioned against releasing, the secret of the atomic bomb at this time. Mr. Churchill emphasized that he. spoke "only for myself" and had no official mission. Great RIessing Is Destruction From the gleaming wings of science, which might have brought immeasurable blessing to mankind, might be precipitated a return to the dark age the stone age. "The time is short. There is no time for wailing," Mr. Churchill asserted. "Now war can find any nation between dusk and dawn," he asserted. Mr. Churchill charged Russian-dominated Poland with enormous and wrongful inroads in Germany. Totalitarian control was being imposed behind an iron curtain which stretched across Europe from Stettin on the Raltic to Trieste on the Adriatic. The outlook was also anxious in the Far East, particularly in Manchuria, the wartime premier asserted. , The world needed a new unity in Europe. He had not lost hope in the dark days, said Mr. Churchill. Neither had he lost hope now. "Rut I do not see or feel the same confidence or the same hope today that 1 had last year that wars are over." However, he still did not feel that war was inevitable. "The future is in our own hands." He urged the establishment of freedom and democracy as rapidly as possible in all countries. He warned against a policy of appeasement. The Russians had admiration for strength and not for weakness, he felt. "If western democracy stands together, their influence will be immense," he asserted. He recalled how he had cried aloud against appeasement but no one had listened. There never had been a war in history that could have been more easily prevented by timely action than the last. "We must not let that happen again." "Let no man underrate the abiding power of the British Empire and Commonwealth." Mr. Churchill's subject was "The Sinews of Peace."
