I

have

nothing

to

offer

but

blood,

toil,

tears

and

sweat

——

On

May

10,

1940,

Winston

Churchill

became

Prime

Minister.

Wh

en

he

met

his

Cabinet

on

May

13

he

told

them

that

have

not

hing

to

offer

but

blood,

toil,

tears

and

sweat.

He

repeated

that

p

hrase

later

in

the

day

when

he

asked

the

House

of

Commons

for

a

vote

of

confidence

in

his

new

all-party

government.

The

respo

nse

of

Labour

was

heart- warming;

the

Conservative

reaction

was

luke-warm.

They

still

really

wanted

Neville

Chamberlain.

For

the

first

time,

the

people

had

hope

but

Churchill

commented

to

Gener

al

Ismay:

people,

poor

people.

They

trust

me,

and

I

can

gi

ve

them

nothing

but

disaster

for

quite

a

long

time.

On

Friday

evening

last

I

received

His

Majesty's

commission

to

fo

rm

a

new

Administration.

It

as

the

evident

wish

and

will

of

Parli

ament

and

the

nation

that

this

should

be

conceived

on

the

broade

st

possible

basis

and

that

it

should

include

all

parties,

both

those

who

supported

the

late

Government

and

also

the

parties

of

the

Opposition.

I

have

completed

the

most

important

part

of

this

task.

A

War

Cabinet

has

been

formed

of

five

Members,

representing,

with

the

Opposition

Liberals,

the

unity

of

the

nation.

The

three

p

arty

Leaders

have

agreed

to

serve,

either

in

the

War

Cabinet

or

i

n

high

executive

office.

The

three

Fighting

Services

have

been

fill

ed.

It

was

necessary

that

this

should

be

done

in

one

single

day,

on

account

of

the

extreme

urgency

and

rigour

of

events.

A

numb

er

of

other

positions,

key

positions,

were

filled

yesterday,

and

I

a

m

submitting

a

further

list

to

His

Majesty

to-night.

I

hope

to

co

mplete

the

appointment

of

the

principal

Ministers

during

to-morro

w.

the

appointment

of

the

other

Ministers

usually

takes

a

little

lo

nger,

but

I

trust

that,

when

Parliament

meets

again,

this

part

of

my

task

will

be

completed,

and

that

the

administration

will

be

co

mplete

in

all

respects.
