The Churchill Fund
Sir, —What a truly fitting way our Empire and the United States have found to honour the memory of Sir Winston Churchill! But may a member of the “weaker sex” point out that, while those chosen as our own national trustees are “beyond compare” in many respects, there is not one woman among them? And he whose name we chose to perpetuate was always quick to acknowedge the value of women in the world, especially where they stood in the place of, and by the side of, men, In the Battle of Britain. Would it be possible to co-opt a woman? If so, I suggest Miss Ngaio Marsh, for whether in New Zealand or overseas, her love of Commonwealth, attainment in oratory, literature. and art. and scholarship in general, her readiness to judge impartially on their own merits, those of any generation, would commend her strongly for selection.—Yours, J. B. DONKIN. February 4, 1965.
