The “Churchill Age”

This period of tune, in which we are now living, will probably be called the "Churchill Age” by the historians of the future, is an editoria 1 comment in the “Efficiency” magazine. “It will be the third am? greatest golden age of the British peoples. We had the ‘Elizabethan Age.’ made glorious by the defeat of Spain and the exploits of Drake and the plays of Shakespeare. We had the ‘Victorian Age,’ when wc became the leaders of the world in industry and finance. And now we are living in the beginning of the ‘Churchill Age.’ which will shine for ever in history as the period when we defeated Hitler and restored civilisation, liberty and private enterprise. We wiio are now alive are privileged more than all the British generations of the past, and perhaps more than all the British generations of the future. This is our supreme age of great men and great deeds. We are all St. Georges. We are putting an end to the dragon. We are making sure that all future generations of British people shall _ live happily, prosperous and free.”
