CHURCHILL MA Y LEAD AGAIN TO THE VIRTUE AND ability of William Pitt, I I Earl of Chatham, during whose administration in the reign of George Second and Third, Divine Providence exalted Great Britain to an height of prosperity and glory unknown to any former age." This is the inscription at the base of the memorial statue to the great British statesman in Westminster Abbey. Apart from students of history it is doubtful if William Pitt is anything more than a name to the average Englishman today. Yet it was to his statesmanship that the British people owed their national salvation in one of the most perilous periods of their history, and he, more than any other one man, was responsible for the creation of the British Empire. With little alteration the same inscription could be ascribed to Winston Churchill and the perilous years through which he led the British people to victory. There is a striking parallel between the lives of the two men. Both entered politics at an early age. Pitt was a great orator. With an eye .to the greatness and glory of England, he rallied the nation to look to its laurels and saw the French Sthe rivals of England, beaten back in the four quarters of the globe. Although he was finally driven from power, he still maintained a passionate regard or the honor of his country. Winston Churchill resembles Pitt in all the salient features of his character and actions. Like Pitt, Churchill is one of the greatest orators Britain has produced, and, as a statesman and leader of the people in the most terrible and fateful of all wars, he is without parallel. The world is vastly different today from what it was in the time of Pitt The United States an offshoot of the British Empire has, as a result of two world wars which have weakened Britain financially, inherited a large part of Britain's industrial and commercial prestige. Russia, also as a result of the two wars, and latterly with the help of both Britain and the United States, is now making a determined bid for imperial power. But Britain, in spite of her poverty at home and disruptions in certain parts of the Empire, is the only real, established imperial power today. Governments come and go in Britain, and no one party or leader can remain long enough in office to assume the power of a permanent dictatorship. The political changes are superficial; they do not pehelrite to the foundations of the State which were bid through centuries of struggle for freedom and constitutional development The political pendulum swung to the extreme left under Cromwell, but it swung to the extreme Right with the Restoration under Charles the Second. It steadied itself in the Victorian Era in which Britain not only ruled the Seven Seas and extended the bounds of civilization but also led the swiftest movement of industrial, scientific, educational and political progress in the history of mankind. . It ia unfair to judge the national stamina of Britain under the present political circumstances at home and abroad, or to judge the moral stamina of the British people in their present state of destitution. Britain is suffering from exhaustion resulting from six years of tremendous effort, endurance and sacrifice as the chief bulwark of world freedom. The British have great powers of recuperation and they may yet emerge stronger than ever from their ordeal by fire and privation. The outlook for Brit-am today is no darker than when Pitt on his deathbed despairingly cried, -"My Country, my Country! How I leave my Country!" Churchill is still alive, and judging by the vigor and the grasp of national and international affairs which he displayed in his great speech of March last in the House of Commons, he may yet lead the British people out into the sunlight of a new and better day. SAM GOMPERSSAID SAM GOMPERS was not only a greai Labor leader but he was one of the greatest figures in United States history. Years ago he said the one thing which labor had to fear was not that business was going to make too much profit, but that business was not going to make enough profit, for Sam Gompers understood something which most Labor Leaders today seem to have forgotten that business will not be carried on, factories built, stores opened unless someone makes a profit. Profits for business make jobs. If enough profits - are earned, the owners of business will not only continue the present jobs, but will make more jobs by putting some of their profits into new equipment. If enough profits are made, -business will put some of these profits into improving processes. This will mean, in the end, that cheaper goods can be produced and still higher wages paid to the workers. ROYAL CAFE (Mrs.. C. C.
