CHURCHILL, Winston S. Autograph draft manuscript, two-pages of Churchill's address to the Annual Meeting of the Central Council of the National Union of Conservative and Unionist Associations, Caxton Hall, 26 March 1942. 2 pages, 4to, with accompanying typed note identifying the speech . "THIS IS A VERY HARD WAR...WE MUST AID EACH OTHER. WE MUST STAND BY EACH OTHER." Churchill fights back against his political critics in this bleak chapter of the war, just months after the fall of Singapore, with Hitler's Germany at high-tide on all fronts, Russia besieged, America far from ready to join the battle, and little prospect of victory in sight. Churchill pokes those who "feel so confident of their knowledge & so sure that they cd soon put things right." But he reminds his critics: "This is a vy hard war. Its worrisome & fearful problems reach down to the vy foundations of human society. Its scope is world wide. It involves all nations & every man, woman & child in them. The latest refinements of Science are linked with the cruelties of the Stone Age...We must aid each other. We must stand by each other. We must confront all perils & trials with a national unity that cannot be broken...& above all with that inflexible will power to endure & yet to dare for wh our island race has been long renowned. Then alone shall we be worthy champions of the Grand Alliance...which now has only to march together till tyranny is trampled down."
