LONDON, March 15-The war in Europe might well end "before sum-
mer ends or even sooner," Prime Minister Churchill told a conference of
the conservative party today.
"Victory lies before us-certain and perhaps near," he declared.
In making his prediction on the defeat of Germany, Churchill pointed
out that with it "war conditions will no longer prevent, as they have
hitherto prevented, the holding of a general election," Britain's first since
1935.
- I'
against the ideas of the "stay-at-
home, left-wing intelligentsia."
Fickle Froth.
Saying "It is no cheap-jack utopia
of airy phrases that lies before us,"
Churchill asserted the Conservative
party would be better off going down
to defeat telling the truth than gain-
ing "a span of shabbily bought of-
fice by easy and fickle froth and
chatter."
In this fighting pep-talk to the
party which he heads, Churchill drop-
ped the impartiality of his role as a
coalition Premier and slugged orally
at those who have criticized him and
his party.

made a trip to Detroit and paid an

which vast numbers of our Negro
fellow citizens and others are shame-

from the right to work and to gain a
self respecting livelihood. The state
of Michigan is amply justified, in fact,
it has the ilain duty to use its police
power to abolish this disgraceful
wrong, alike un-Christian and un-
American."
