[ With :] a printed copy of Churchill's 15 October 1947 address issued by the Conservative Party Central Office, and three later press releases dated 14 June 1948, 28 December 1951 and 15 May 1955. "I WAS IN FULL AGREEMENT WITH HIS ATTITUDE ON PROHIBITION" Churchill was the guest of honor at the second annual Al Smith Dinner, an event that has become one of the great annual traditions in New York politics. He recorded his speech for transmission to the guests via trans-atlantic telephone. Having been ousted from office in July 1945 Churchill was eager for any and every opportunity to keep himself politically relevant on the British and the world political stage. He had done that brilliantly the year before with his Iron Curtain speech at Fulton, Missouri. Here, too, he plays on the theme of the special relationship between the U.S. and U.K, as a bulwark against the Stalinist menace. "There is no country in Europe which makes a firmer or more solid front against Soviet and Communist encroachments than Great Britain...and the...British people would act with the United States in the same solidarity and fraternal intimacy which has so lately given us victory against the combined dictatorships of Germany, Italy and Japan." Churchill also shares fond memories of his past dealings with Governor Al Smith, and recalls that he "was in full agreement with his attitude on prohibition."
