Hon. Winston Churchill, OM CH MP.” Wardour St, London. Winston Churchill, leader of the Conservative Party, speaks in advance of the 1950 General Election: "Permit me, ladies and gentlemen, to claim your attention for a moment. It can only be a moment, for as you know we are all on the ration. The vote that you will give on February 23rd is of profound importance to your future, your homes and families, and to our country. The choice is plain, are we now to take another plunge into Socialist regimentation or shall we return to the high road of freedom of enterprise and with proper safeguards opportunity for all? Under the Socialist system where everything is controlled, by an all-powerful state, we cannot hope to uphold our standard of life and and secure employment for the 50 millions crowded onto our small island. If we are to be independent in foreign aid we must rally all the genius, contrivance, initiative, and diligence of our people in a new surge of impulse and courage. The Conservative and National Liberal Parties set in the forefront of their policy a basic standard below which not even the weakest shall be allowed to fall. On this broad foundation all should be free to make the best of themselves and their country and to rise by their own exertions in the life of a free and active society. It is an uphill road we have to tread but if we reject the narrow cramping doctrines of Socialism, we shall surely find the way under a faithful and tolerent government to those broad uplands where plenty, peace, and justice reign. Political speech, political ad.
