Anxiety is expressed in some quarters with regard to the possible repercussions of Mr. Anthony Eden's resigna- tion..

Mr. Eden's policy, based on League of Nations: surgeon principles, undoubtedly has a great following in the and organiser of the widely known country. It is suggested it is also the policy of the Liberal- Bethune Blood Transfusion Serv to Spanish
National and Labour-National groups in the House of Commons, and if these should decide to support Mr. Eden some suggest that the National Government would be irre- parably impaired, and that a general election would result..
