18 THE OSHAWA TIMES, Mondoy, February 8, 1965 Sa a ame ms Serie i a ee MY DEAR MR. CHURCHILL He Was Never Anti-American EDITOR'S NOTE: The fol- lowing is the last of 12 arti- cles taken from the forthcom- ing book "My Dear Mr. Churchill," by Walter Graeb- Winston Churchill in post- war years. Few Englishmen of his day took such an interest in the Unit- ed States or felt such an affinity for the country and its -people as did Winston Churchill. There was never a trace of anti-American- ism in any words I ever heard him speak candidly when he dis- liked something the nation or in- dividual did. I cannot remember a_ time when he did not ask me some question about America. What are the strikes all about? What are they saying over there about this little country? He liked to conquest of Europe; that through his inflexibility of mind and pur- (pose many opportunities to have the jump on the Russians were missed. "I tried my best to persuade Ike to take Berlin," he said to me time and again, "and to move as far east as possible, because I knew the Russians would make trouble in the end. But Eisenhow- er thought only of the military position, I couldn't get him or the others to consider the political problems which were-as plain as day. I wanted to. go to the Elbe in 1945, meet the Russians there, and settle the outstanding ques-| tions, but I couldn't get any one to go with me." HIS GREATNESS The debate over Churchill's measure of greatness may go on for decades. My meetings with Church il} have ar y good P to his questions, too, because he was eager for information, and during the years I knew him he probably was not getting many reports. HUNGER In the war years his hunger for good solid information about Am- erica was more than satisfied by the brilliant dispatches from the well known Oxford don, Isaiah Berlin, who was attached to the British Embassy. It was Church- ill's delight and satisfaction with these dispatches which caused him to say one day to a secretary that he would like "Berlin" to be asked to lunch at 10 Downing Street. By now the story of how Irving Berlin, the writer of popular songs, turned up instead of Isaiah has gone around the world half a dozen times. Churchill was a little surprised by the appearance of the composer at his luncheon table in the middle of the war, but the meeting turned out to be most} quick imagination as agreeable for both. Throughout the war and during his second prime ministership, Churchill was, of course, in the closest and most intimate touch with America, first during the critical "'cash and carry" period, then lend-lease and finally North Atlantic treaty periods. At a1) took place during his periods of relative relaxation, on his _ holi- days or during week-end rests at Chartwell. There he was often able to slough off completely, as perhaps only a truly great man can do, the cares of politics. It was always as a human being that I knew him -- a genial, gre- garious, sometimes crochety, but always lovable human being. Ev- erything about him was on a lar- ger and grander scale than is customary in ordinary mortals. There was a certain eclat even) in his pottering around the fish-| pond or passing the port to a) guest at "inner, for whatever he turned his attention to became,| for the moment, lifted out of the} commonplace. When I was with him, though) he talked often of politics and the} great events of the day, he did) so frequently more in a playful! than a serious mood. But in all his conversation one could not) help perceiving the. flash of his} it darted from thought to thought, his fas-| cination with ideas, the breadth! of his vision and the liveliness of his mind. CONCENTRATION | His powers of concentration were prodigious. I never failed to be impressed by the way he could put his mind wholly to the ques- There's So Much for You at EATON'S times England needed and wasition of the moment, whether: it! receiving assistance from th e}/was an international crisis or the United States, and it was Church-| acquisition of a new tropical fish.) ill's delicate task to maintain) He had that rare quality of seem-| pride at home and extend grati-!ing to be able to departmentalize tude across the Atlantic. his brain completely and open jand shut doors of his knowledge} GENEROUS at will. His mind was as orderly) as his card table. When he paint- ed, he painted to the exclusion of} everything else. When he wrote his books, he became entirely the) painstaking author. When he de-| voted himself to political ques-| tions, there was no one more! deeply involved than he. This remarkable power of con-| centration was joined to a fantas- tic memory and a vast appetite for hard work, What to lesser men might have been a life- time's endeavour -- namely, the production of six bulky volumes of his Memoirs -- was to Church- ill a spare-time project written while leading the Opposition Party. And when he became Prime Minister again he still found time to revise and com- plete the mammoth "History of the English Speaking Peoples"',| which he had begun in 1929. What one felt, perhaps most strongly of all was the impact of his vivid and extraordinary per- sonality -- his exuberant spirits, | Once or twice he talked to me} a little about the problem of be- ing on the receiving end of gifts from the United States. I remem- ber him sayitig: "One fact must always be remembered in deal- ing with Americans. They are the most generous people in all the world, and will not allow them- selves to be outdone in generos- ity. Therefore a wise man wil}; always show the greatest gener- osity towards his American friends." Because he felt so warmly to- wards America, Churchill fre- quently went out of his way to be accommodating. On visits to the United States he always held press conferences, though he could fll afford the time and con- sidered them such an ordeal that! nothing ever induced him to hold) one in England. He also accepted| invitations to large dinner par-| ties with his American publishers} -- something he never did in England. His best American friend was) Bernard Baruch whom Churc' tant personal matter affecting|' America without first getting Baruch's opinion, and he usual- ly followed the advice of Bernie, as he called him. In New York Baruch tried to shelter Churchill from the thousands of people who wanted interviews, autographs and information. IKE'S PIN IN POCKET When Mr. Eisenhower became the 1952 Rupublican candidate, | Churchill wished him luck and carried in his pocket an "I Like| Ike"' pin, which he would occa-| sionally produce for the edifica-| tion of an American guest. | During Eisenhower's first eigh- teen months as President I can-| not remember hearing Churchill mention him more than once or twice. I got the impression that relations were not as intimate as he would have liked them to be. Of course, it is probably wel] known to Eisenhower that Church- ill felt he should have acted with greater boldness and political acumen in the final stages of the n.|is fearlessness, his deep emo- ill knew many years and with | tional capacity, his robust en- whom he stayed on most visits|Joyment life and his stubborn} to New York. Churchill never made a decision about an impor- irefusal to compromise with the |second-rate. He was English to! he core, with an old-fashioned, |swash-buckling Elizabethan Eng-| |lishness that expressed itself at) Il: times grandly and withou' latin restraint. | | Therein, I think, lay much of | |the secret of his greatness, and) lof the power he has had to cap-| |ture the admiration and affection) of the whole world.
