Scotland Yard tonight flashed a warning to all flocks and airports in Great Britain to watch for a

man and a

On Their Viewpoint

London, Apr. 16. Henry Wallace's' dis- paragement of United States "foreign policy in speeches and on the radio during his short visit to Britain has evoked both bitter con- demnation and unquali- |fied approval from Bri- tish political circles (writes Fraser Wighton, Reuters Political Corres- pondent).

Wallace, lending American Liberal and formier United States Vice-President, was tonight, on the eve of his

departure Ter Stockh Im, being entertained to dinner in the House Cemmons. But one Member of Parlament, Sir Patrick Hannon (Conserve. tive), boyertted the function, de- claring that Wallace's critick of his own Government was [462] impertinent intrusion into the decencies of political life....I re gard his visit here as a proselytis. tug mission at behalf of Cụm munism."

of

“Seymour" "Cieks, Chpinson the External Affairs Group of the. Parliamentary Labour Party, took the opp site view,

"In my view," said Mr. Cocks, "Mr. Wallace has the right lo express his own

views in Eng-

and as he does in America. I re- ! eard him as one of the very small band of international statesmen who dre cas colebrated in their countries as in their own. I re- gard him in the same line of Americans as Lincelt and Rouse. velt."

The Canadian-born former Ficot Supet cditor, Beverley Dax- ter (C. nservative). said he thought Wallace could have criti. cised his country's economic policy but nei its foreign policy..

Maurice Webb, Chainman ot the Parliamentary Labour. Parts declared: "I think Mr. Wallace's visit has been very valuable and useful, So far as I can see he la roid, nothing in which any reason-

ble person could object."-Rou-T
