Interesting synopsis. However, didn't Churchill go along with socialistic programs in England after WWII? Social security comes to mind.

I may be wrong...seems to me I heard it somewhere?

I'm not too familiar with what Churchill did in England after the war with regards to SS. I think his opposition at this time was with what FDR was doing with the NRA, AAA and the every other alphabet program that was intent on controlling productivity and wages. They had been fighting this depression for years now, and FDR just continued to go in the same direction...even while at odds with the USSC. By the time Churchill made this comment, this new recession was just starting (Spring 1937) and in full swing by October.

Churchill was defeated just as the war ended.
