CHAMBERLAIN NEVILLE: (1869-1940) British Prime Minister 1937-40.  War date T.L.S., Neville Chamberlain, with holograph salutation and subscription, two pages, 4to, 10 Downing Street, Whitehall, 25th January 1940, to Lord Kemsley ('My dear Gomer'), on the printed stationery of the Prime Minister. Chamberlain thanks his correspondent for their letter 'drawing my attention to the fact that no manuscripts were available for the Press either of the speech by Lord Halifax on Saturday or of the broadcast by Mr. Winston Churchill on Saturday night' and continues to explain that wherever possible Ministers or their Departments do their best to provide the Press with manuscripts ('knowing full well the difficulties under which newspapers are produced in these days') although also remarking 'At the same time, I am sure you will fully sympathise with Ministers when, on occasion, it is found physically impossible to render this service, and also when, in some circumstances, the speaker himself decides to speak from notes rather than from a fully prepared document'. Chamberlain further writes 'As regards Lord Halifax's speech, I understand that the Foreign Secretary definitely decided to speak from notes and no full manuscript was therefore prepared' and also comments 'In the case of Mr. Winston Churchill the manuscript was, I am given to understand, only finished shortly before he went to the microphone and copies were issued to the Press as soon as possible'. A letter of interesting content, not least for its references to Churchill and his broadcast which was later associated with appeasers. The two pages are neatly fastened by the original brass fastener to the upper left corner. About EX        Gomer Berry (1883-1968) 1st Viscount Kemsley. Welsh Colliery owner and Newspaper Publisher who co-owned The Daily Telegraph and whose Kemsley Newspapers group also included The Sunday Times, The Daily Sketch and The Sunday Graphic. Edward Wood (1881-1959) 1st Earl of Halifax. British Politician, Foreign Secretary 1938-40. On Neville Chamberlain's resignation in early May 1940 Halifax effectively declined the position of Prime Minister despite widespread support across the political spectrum as he felt Winston Churchill would be a more suitable war leader.  Winston S. Churchill (1874-1965) British Prime Minister 1940-45, 1951-55. Nobel Prize winner for Literature, 1953. At the time of the present letter Churchill was serving as First Lord of the Admiralty and, as the present letter reflects, he had made a BBC radio broadcast on Saturday, 20th January 1940 in which he warned of the 'criminal adventurers of Berlin'. The speech also included Churchill's crocodile metaphor (later associated with appeasers) when he stated 'Each one hopes that if he feeds the crocodile enough the crocodile will eat him last. All of them hope that the storm will pass before their turn comes to be devoured. But the storm will not pass. It will rage and roar even more loudly, even more widely'. The speech was well received by the British public and was further evidence that Churchill was the backbone of the cabinet. It was, however, less well received by neutral countries and by the Foreign Secretary, Lord Halifax.

[TRISTAN DA CUNHA]: A scarce original War date edition of The Tristan Times, one page, folio, South Atlantic Ocean, 24th April 1943.

The paper also features a few paragraphs of news from Tristan da Cunha including 'Islanders are reminded that by 1st May no family may possess more than 3 geese'. VGDuring World War II Tristan Da Cunha was used as a top secret Royal Navy weather and radio station codenamed HMS Atlantic Isle to monitor Nazi U-boats and shipping movements in the South Atlantic ocean.
