​An Address to the people of the United States:
Winston Churchill

“I avail myself with relief of the opportunity of speaking to the people of the United States.
I do not know how long such liberties will be allowed.
The stations of uncensored expression are closing sown; the lights are going out; but there is still time for those to whom freedom and parliamentary government mean something, to consult together.
Let me speak in truth and earnestness while time allows…”

Single leaf 8” x 11” printed on both sides.
Issued by the New Commonwealth Society, London April 1939.
