Show Britain's Long Parlament Prime Minister Winston Churchill, Chur-chill, returning to England from an extended visit to Canada and the United States, accounts to a Parliament that has been in ex-istance ex-istance for eight years, with three exceptions, the longest Parliament Parlia-ment in British history. The vast difference between the political organization of the United States and Great Britain is plainly seen in this single fact. The present Parliament has seen three kings and three Prime Ministers. Min-isters. James B. Reston, New York Times correspondent, points out that it has seen a royal jubilee and a royal abdication; declared sanctions on Italy and declared war on Italy and made peace with Italy; sought an alliance with Russia, castigated Russia and sang the praises of Russia; approved raising a force to fight Finland and declared war a-gainst a-gainst Finland; and, finally, rebuked re-buked Winston Churchill and lived to revere him as no Prime Minister for generations. In the United States, every four years, we have a presidential presiden-tial election, regardless of the state of the nation. Participation in the greatest war in history of the world does not postpone the political campaign or eliminate the, uncertainty which must exist in foreign minds until the people peo-ple of this nation declare themselves them-selves at the polls. |
