The Week in Parliament
Our Parliamentary Correspondent writes: The most im- portant eients this week have neither been announced in Parliament nor form part of domestic Government policy. President Roosevelt's speech dwarfs everything ease. It is probably the most important speech made in the history of speeches. The simplicity and directness of language con- veying exactly and precisely his considered judgement on the main issues of the day could not be bettered. But the tribute to the British people and to Mr. Churchill touched every home in the country. The word democrat has now become more important than the word dictator, and Hitler must face not only our chosen war-header and Prime Minister but the world's greatest democrat. Mr. Winant underlined and repeated the sentiments of the President in the presence of the Cabinet and a great gathering in London.
