In Passing
The crucial re-assembly of the Foreign Ministers' Conference is now in progress and it may be hoped that this time real headway can be made. There has been much frank speaking as a prc- liminary, none. morc vigorous than that of Mr. Bevin. The outlook is not happy, but, as Mr. Bevin said, we must not despair. There can be no permanent peace in Europe or elsewhere without) Russian co-operation; and there- fore the rest of the world must go on trying to secure it. Indeed, there is no other even remotely promising avenue towards peace. But that cannot mean that, in de- ference to Russian demands, there can be flat surrender of our case upon the points at issue.
