WAR LEADERSHIP
LATE MR CHAMBERLAIN’S ABNEGATION. ■ MR CHURCHILL’S TRIBUTE. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. March 27. In the course of his address to the ‘ central committee of the Conservative and Unionist Party this morning, the Prime Minister, Mr Churchill, paid a tribute to the loyalty of Mr Neville Chamberlain who, when he realised that he. did not command the unity essential to the task then facing the Government, “with perfect self-abne-gation which will ever be an example to public men and which will long be associated with his name, . stepped aside and resigned his office." He, Mr Churchill, was consequently able to form an all-party Government and enable the country to get through a dark hour. “Nearly a year has gone by since the new Government, was formed,” he said. “In these days one loses measure of time. Sometimes it feels as if it were 10 years and sometimes as if it. were only 10 days. Anyhow, however you reckon it in your mental picture, we were never so strong or so hopeful as we are today.”
