Is it pos- sible to redeem the tragic errors of the post-war years and insti- tute a new deal for the nations ? It was to this great problem that Mr. Ernest Bevin addressed him- self in his remarkable speech to the British Labour Party Confer- ence last month, which received: scant attention owing to the pres- sure of what is termed "high spot news."
