...popular taste and party tactics. Today the Herald prints very few stories of sex and adventure but more than ardent Laborites think it should; it also prints more stories about Labor and the trade unions than readers of the rival Daily Mail and Express want to labor through.

Britain, its Government had announced, no longer possessed the resources to continue its comparatively puny military aid to Greece. India had all but left the Empire. Burma and Malaya were going. South Africa was tugging at the tether. In the citadel itself were hunger, cold and socialism...
