TTHREE YEARS WITH EISENHOWERY  

PERSONAL DIART OF CAPT. H. C. BUTCHER,

CHURCHILLISMS  

Page 634  

January 27. 1945.  

Hopkins arrived. After pleasant greetings he  

told of his visit in London, where he had spent three nights  

with the Prine Minister. The night before, the Prime  

Minister had given fatherly Lecture to Mr. Eden on the  

art and science of making speech to the House of Commons.  

Mr. Eden had accepted the lecture as son from father. In  

the course of the admonition the Prime Minister, according  

to Harry, had told Eden never slyly to peck at his notes.  

They should be flagrantly waved in the face of the APS each  

time he made point. Then he should proceed to the next.  

He should obviously study his notes, taking as much time  

as necessary ""two or three minutes, if you feel like it.  

He added that the speaker should not lounge or leen against  

the box, which is the rostrum, but rather should stand well  

behind it and pace his remarks with forward and backward steps.  

The Prime Minister said he had had special glasses made which  

permitted him to see his notes five feet away. He advised  

Eden to patronize the same  

oculist. Neither should the box  

be tapped lightly with the  

hand, as this distracts the atten-  

tion of the audience. If the box is to be touched at all  

it should be vigorously pounded with the fist at an appropriate  

noment. Added theatrical effect could be obtained if  

Hr. Eden  

then would scowl at the audience.  

have used, above, the word fatherly to describe  

the Prime Minister’s attitude because after Harry had amusingly  

mimicked the Prime Minister inquired as to Kr. Churchillis  

attitude. Hopkins assured me that it was one of kindness,  

consideration, and good humour.
