If it is a large retallation you are running very close to the brink,

"If anyone would put forward some suggestion large enough lạ have effect but not large enough to start a world-wide' conflagra- tion, it would be considered."

Stating that Britain had mads 18 approaches to the Russians on this subject, Lord Pakenham declared that the Bovlat Government's attitude was "deplorable by any star- darde of civilisation or any principle of common humanity. "I am afraid that I must issue a fair warning to these unfortun- ate husbands (who number about a dozen) that their chances of seeing their wives are very elon- der," he said.
