"TOADIES AND YES-MEN" (Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, June 9.

He added that a coalition Government necessarily consisted of "toadies and yes-men," eliminating party criticism and competition. This was one of the reasons for many war blunders. It was a real peril to the country that Mr Churchill, a Prime Minister of genius, should be regarded beyond challenge or criticism as an inspired demigod. "We have tolerated in Government departments an inefficiency which has appalled me," said Sir Herbert.
