"The point I would make is that you have to work out the kind of constitution, the kind of government and the kind of economy that sults you, not something imposed from White- hall," he said.
There was no greater mis- take than that a constitution could be imported from another country.

The Bevan Manifesto
R Aneurin Bevan and his left-wing friends have produced a manifesto which they hope will be adopted by the Socialist Party as part of the official platform on which to fight the next General Election which, accord- ing to latest reports, is fairly certain to materialise before the end of this year. It is a bold and by no means and will unimaginative document probably make a strong emotional appeal to some sections of the Labour But it is Party and Its followers.

Tokyo, July 11,
North Korean Pyongyang Radio announced, today that the North Korean chief delegate, General Nam II, made the follow- ing "proposal" at Tuesday's cease-fire talks.
1. Order a cessation of all hos tile military activities as a basis for negotiations. The army will order a halt to all advances, a halt to firing, blockade and reconnaissance. The Air Force will order a halt to bombing, and reconnaissance. A cease-fire is the first step to end the war in Korea.
2, Establish the 38th Parallel as a military border with simultaneous
the withdrawal by both forces for a distance of 10 kilometres from
38th Parallel. This area will be a demilitarizod zone and the military forces of both sides will not make any advance or any military activity. The civil ad. ministration of this area will be restored to the status quo as of June 25, 1950. At the same time, negotiations will be started immediately for the exchange of war prisoners.
3. All foreign military forces should withdraw as soon as possible. The withdrawal of military administration will assure an end to the Korean war and a peaceful settlement of the Korean problem.
