traveller who is a trained observer
and a shrewd judge.
His remarks about the position In
South Africa are not made with a
view to reassuring any of the Inter-

'a final chapter entitled the Role of
White Civilization, is especially chal-
lenging. The Roman Empire was forc-
ed to defend itseslf on all sides
against the rising tide of barbarism.
Is history threatening to repeat itself.
In some ways perhaps an imperson-

unmistakably the work of that philo-

certain death as fugitives In a hostile
territory, and their story, during long
weeks of trying to reach the English

Nightrnnners of Bengal is a first-
rate novel of escape and pursuit, by a
new writer who has special talents
for fast-action narrative and draws
on intimate knowledge of India for
his colorful authentic setting.
AFRICAN JOURNEY
by Andre Siegfried
Andre Siegfried's African tour was
extensive. It covered the Belgian Con-

report of it Is made with that cultur-

characterized all his studies of coun-

NIOUTRUNNERS Oh' lili1NVAii.
by John Masters
There were strange signs and por-
tents in Bengal. The holyantin sat un-
der his tree and uttered a dark pro-
phecy. Peasants ran through the for-
ests at night carrying pieces of bread
between the villages. But Captain
Rodney Savage knew nothing of these
things on New Year's Eve, when he
attended the Club ball, There were
music, wine, beautiful women, and
he was celebrating 1857, the twentieth
year of Victoria's reign and the sixty-
ninth of Rodney's regiment, Caroline
Langford, the proud, serious visitor
from England, broke into his gay
mood with questions ,she had seen
signs of unrest among the Indians,
Rodney explained to her that the
English understood the natives, that
England was secure in India, with
a hundred years of undisputed rule
behind her. Irritating though she was,
Caroline was attractive, later Captain
Savage thought that their love story
really began that evening.
Then he met the itani of a nearby
state, and became involved in an in-
trigue he didn't understand until too
late, Anxious to help the Raid, he
misinterpreted the incident of the
bullock-cart loaded with ammunition.
Like many I'ritish officers, Rodney
loved and trusted his sepoys and ser-
ved England and India loyally: but
he did not really FEEL India. When
the flaming• mutiny broke on May 10,
1857, no one was prepared, although
the plotting had been obvious enough,
On that hideous night of terror and
burning, when the English and their
families were tortured and massacred,
Rodney and Caroline, among the
small group of survivors, faced almost

sublime emergence of Magna Charter,
No other man in the world today
posseeses the august haeirgrounci of
governmental experience, in combin-
ation with intrepidity in tackling pro-
blems, resolution in making decisions,
and fearlessness in facing foes, as
does Churchill.
After the British elections the first
man we met on the street thought we
might now have war, This writer
thinks there is much greater likeli-
hood that we will have peace.
Some of you have a how-do you-do
acquaintance with British history.
Such will perhaps recall the profound
observation of Disraeli at the Berlin
Congress in 1878 when he declared
that one of the results of attending
that congress was to prove what he
suspected to be the established fact,
that neither the Crimean War, nor
yet the horribly devastating war that
had just treminated-the Franco-
Prussian-would have taken place if
England had spoken with the neces-
sary firmness,
Strong men make peace with hon-
our, weak men with disgrace, Chur-
chill is a strong man, You think his
is a small majority. It is all the bet-
ter for that. Large majorities breed
corruption through power.
Undoubtedly oratory is still the
greatest influence in the art of per-
suasion. Of all world orators Demos-
i thenes ranks supreme, yet according
to an epitomized characterization at
the base of a bronze statue, methinks
in Paris, he seemed to lack what
Shakespeare claimed was the chief
'virtue-valor. The words at the base of
that statue are worth quoting.
"Divine in speech, in judgment too,
divine
Had valor's wreath Demosthenes been
thine
Fair Greece had still her freedom's
ensign borne
And held the scourge of Macedon in
scorn."
Churchill's brow wears a wreath of
Valor, May God grant him such
length of days as will give a new
meaning to longevity, along with
health of body and sanity of mind
and wisdom of judgment; for no
doubt, but what he has been'"brought
again to high prominence in the
Kingdom, for such a time as this,

Winston Churchill is again in the
saddle, a cavalry officer for the Un-
ited Nations. In all world conflicts
one man stands out from the crowd,
that is true in all history, Biblical or
profane; and sure]y to all men im-
bued with the spirit of freedom, and
therefore of democracy, it is an en-
couraging sign, a light in the dark-
ness, that this redoubtable warrior
again tops in triumph the highest
place possible in the choice of the
People of the old land.
Just here pick up your dictionary
and take a swift, voluntary refresher
course on government, by looking up
the meaning of heocracy, oligarchy
democracy, bureaucracy, even ochlo-
cracy, Particularly however, ponder
the significance of the word geronto-
cracy which, in fine, means govern-
went by old men,
Many will think Mr. Churchill is
too old to carry on In the teeth of im-
, pending world storms, uncomfortably
imminent: but such might do well to
think upon a saying of Sir Philip
Sidney. "All is lip wisdom that lacks
experience," and Winston Churchill
1 gathers in the uniqueness of his pul-
sating personalitz all that is British
at its best from ffie days of centuries

of King John and the barons and the
