PHILLIPS' PREDICTION
London, Oct. 26.
As the last general election results poured in, promising a Conser- vative majority over all parties of about 25, Mr Clement Attlee, the de- feated Labour leader-slumped in the back of his car-drove to Bucking- ham Palace today through silent crowds to hand the King his resignation. Mr Winston Churchill, triumphant Conservative leader, went, too, and by the time he arrived at the Palace a crowd of about 200 had collect- ed. They cheered him with shouts of "Good old Winnie."
Wildly jubilant thousands had earlier cheered Mr Churchill outside Conservative Party headquarters.
Tired and white, with tears in his eyes, the 76-year-old statesman de- clared, "We shall do our very best to be of service."
Then he uttered a phrase that recalled his famous "Blood, sweat, toil and tears" speech of his great wartime years: "There lies before us hard times. I have no hesitation in saying that I have seen worse and had to face But I do not doubt that we shall come through."

COMMENT OF THE DAY
THE
Britain Gets
are
a
THE British election results have realised general expectations. The Conservatives go back to power with a small, but working majority. Tory party leaders and organisers anticipated a favourable balance of 20 seats at the worst and 60 at the best. Indications
the final tully will leave them with majority of between 26 and 30. The early results from industrial constituencies virtually decided the issue. The Con- servatives succeeded in gaining five of these vital seats which automatically obliterated the House of Commons majority by which the Socialists had been governing the country for nine previous months. The trend was ap- parent and the ultimate result inevit-
able
It is of interest, however, to note that there has been no violent swing to the Right, and the voting illustrated the solid hold which the Socialists still have on the workers. The Conservatives undoubtedly owe something to the floating Liberal vote which contributed in no small measure to the successful attack the Tories made on Labour's strongholds in London and the North. That both Liberals and Conservatives blended their voting capacity effectively is de- monstrated by the fact that the Liberals were actually able to gain a seat from the Socialists in an industrial constituency. Nono ¡will deny the Conservatives the fruits of the vigorous role they have played as the Opposition in the House of Commons since January, 1950. They quickly appreciated then that the Labour Party had been denied a rolld mandate from the country as a whole, and, under the skilful leadership of Mr Winston Churchill they slowly, but most cer- tainly, undermined the confidence, not only of the country in the Socialists, but of the Sociállats in themselves. And while domestic issues were placed In the forefront of the election cam- pálgn, certam developments In foreign Affany came at a time which subjected

the outgoing Government to consider- able public criticism. The handling of the Anglo-Iranian oil dispute caused general dissatisfaction which was not to be offset by the more determined policy of the Attlee Cabinet in connec- tion with Egypt and the Suez Canal Zone. The voters have now tapped the administrative and legislative ball to Mr Winston Churchill and his cof. leagues. Honesty will compel them to admit they are assuming a difficult assignment. While certain conditions now existing in Britain can be charged against the misconceived policies of the Socialists, the root cause of the more serious problems lies very largely in the international situation and governed by post-war factors. Britain's economic crisis has become chronic, defying any саву or quick cure. The typically vicious circle exists where the high living costs are partly due to the nation's generally economic straiten- ed circumstances, and vice versa. The popular conception of Mr Churchill's new duties appears to be for him to relieve the country of some of the austerity which has been borne for 12 years; to bring down the cost of living; to lighten taxation burdens; to make Britain financially strong once again; to restore what is regarded as lost British prestige overseas. Mr Churchill and his colleagues probably accept this as a mandate, and not only the voters of Britain, but the rest of the world will watch with unabated interest the methods and policies which the new Government will adopt In an endeavour to realise the heavy task. Meanwhile the vigour of par- liamentary debate and the close scrutiny of Governmental legislation is guaranteed by the presence of a strong Opposition. In some respects it is con- colvable the Socialists will better nervo the country na vigilant critica than if they occupied the seats of government.
