BLACKPOOL, England, (AP)
Prime Minister Winston Churchill Saturday warned the western world-including Britain's left-wing socialists--to avoid taunting the United States into a policy of isolationism which he said would condemn all Europe to Russian conquest.
The 79-year-old statesman, addressing the Conservative Party annual conference, pledged himself to work "while I have life and strength" for a system of peaceful coexistence with the Soviet Union, ending rumors that he intended soon to retire.
Churchill said the Russians could readily overrun the whole of Europe but for America's superior strength in atom and hydrogen bombs.
"That superiority, while it is maintained, will be a decisive deterrent against a Communist aggression," he said.
The old war leader said the west's decision to free and rearm West Germany to buttress the Atlantic alliance "may well become a monument and a milestone in our march toward . . . peaceful coexistence" with the Soviet Union.
Of the United States he said: "There is no other case of a nation arriving at the summit of world power, seeking no territorial gain, but earnestly resolved to use her strength and wealth in the cause of progress and freedom.
"Had this conception been visible to the American governments 50 years ago we all, themselves included, might have escaped the two fearful world wars which have brought t such misery upon our generation
