CHURCHILL, Winston Spencer (1874-1965). Typescript speech, including autograph revisions and cancellations, a speech to the Press Association, given at the Savoy Hotel, 11 June 1952.
7 pages, 240 x 190, emendations in red, blue and black ink, and pencil, tag holes. [With:] Three carbon copies of further speeches.
Provenance: Sir John ‘Jock’ Colville (1915-1987), Joint Principal Private Secretary to Churchill, 1951-55; by descent.
‘It is because what you offer us is so valuable – indeed irreplaceable – that your responsibilities are heavy’: Churchill stresses the need for the press to represent a stark economic reality to the British public. ‘Unhappily, the task of enlightenment is not an easy one. Mere words … are as nothing to the threat of invasion which drove every man, woman and child to fresh exertions’. Exasperated that the British people do not grasp the severity of the economic problems faced by the Conservative government, Churchill makes a plea to the Press Association for their assistance in this matter, laying out his Government’s financial policies.
Churchill’s spoke at a Press Association luncheon in 1952: at this time, post-war Britain was only just beginning to recover financially, emerging from the years of austerity, and the Prime Minister urged caution, stressing the need for continued economic vigilance.
