37 Chips. The Diaries of Sir Henry Channon, ed. Robert Rhodes James, London, 1967,p. 252 (13.5.40). And see Charmley, p. 396. 希尔（Hill，第 170 页）认为，新首相可以依靠保守党党团议员的支持，而且丘吉尔长期以来就倡导扩军，反对《慕尼黑协定》，这给了他更多的合法性。但是以上材料和这个观点有冲突，即一开始保守党议员对丘吉尔的任命缺乏热情。

48 丘吉尔在这些日子里对美国援助的悲观，或者说失望，反映为他在 5 月 27 日拒绝了洛锡安勋爵的建议，即英国应该把对美国安全有用的英国领地租借给美国，并由此给美国政府留下良好印象。丘吉尔说道：“美国在战争中没给我们任何帮助，现在看见危险的严重性，又想把能够帮助我们的设备留给自己用。” (PRO, Cab 65/7, Frame 00294, fol. 172; and extract printed in The Churchill War Papers, vol. 2: Never Surrender, May 1940—December 1940, ed.
