It Is understood that the White House is still studying the ques- tlon or televlslng Presidential press conferences. The television people probably regard this sug- gestion as eminently sound. It is only human that they should. The spectacle of six cameras with their crews and their iwcomrpimying lights focused on a President and 3 group of correspondents would make any normal person in the TV industry as hiaippy as a lamb in spring.

History is aimed certain to re- cord that of all the British states- men who have received high hun- our at the hands of their Sover- eign none has been more worthy than the latest recipient of the Knish-thood of the Garter. Mr. Churchill or Sir Winston as he is now, stands in line with the greatest of those who have ren- dered oulstanding service in peace and war. It is safe to say that no one. except perhaps the few who are chronically opposed to every- thing that savours of heraldry. will begrudge the new knight the reward that has come to him in his old. but by no means de- on-iplt, age.

It is enooungirig as well u In- tarestuu to note that former Prime Minister Atlee had recom- mended hls chief political oppon- em. for the distinction shortly after the Labour victory in 1945. It was a. gracious act of maximu- lmlty and one feels that only In Eriglmd. where chivalry never seems to be lost. in the rough and tumble of political strife. would such an not be likely to occur. It. suggests one more reason why the deeply rooted institutions of British history have been able to withstand the social and political changes of modern times.

. . .

No country is in grave peril so long as sportsmanship prevails in the councils of its politicians and statesnien. In elections and par- liamentary debates opponents fight one mother with every leg- tttxnote weapon at their disposal but there appears to be almost complete absence of the personal hitter-names and vindictive tempers which, un-fortunately, feature pol- itical bottles in the newer notions. Anything that touches the cair- eer of Prime Minister Churchill, even a. little piece of blue ribbon on his left knee. is a matter for world concern. There will be gen- eral satisfaction that the Garter and not 5 peerage was the gift of the Queen to her first min- ister In Britain at this time. Had the latter been offered and ac- cepted lt would in all likelihood haie signified the withdrawal of the Prime Minister from office. And that. one cannot. help feeling, would have been 3. loss not only to Britain but also to the whole free world.

It. is. of course. true that "the path of glory leads but to the grave". And Mr. Churchill, like other nmrtals, must "await. the inevitable hour”. At the same time it. is reaaurring to know that in his case the ”awa.iting" period is not to be spent in idleness but In continued iwtlvlty for his country's and the world's good.

. - .

Britain's survival as it world power has depended, of course, on many things. Perhaps not the least. of these is the continuity of its best t.radlt.ions. The strength of tradition is not something that can be computed in terms of com- mon measurement. It is. in fact, an tmpondersbla substance far re- moved from the methods and systems which regulate our affairs. Nevertheless. it is one of the forces which history has chosen to do its will.

It is I. long distance from Ed- ward the Third to Elizabeth the
