“WINSTON” AND “MR PRESIDENT”
President Roosevelt, whose buoyant nature dislikes the formality of titles and last names, has called the Prime Minister, his senior by several years, by his first name from early in their close, personal association, which began by Trans-Atlantic telephone, being subsequently strengthened by their conferences at sea and in the White House. Mr Churchill, whether out of consideration for the President’s superior i ank. or from a reserve either personal or just plain British, uniformly addresses Mr Roosevelt as “Mister Presi°ent- (E. K. Lindley, diplomatic correspondent of*AVashington Post.”)
