THE name is Averoff. Evangelos Averoff-Tositsas. But on the rare Occasions you have read his name, it's been without the Evangelos. And without the Tositsas.

Just plain "Mr Averoß,” talking, to Mr Macmillan in Athens, telling the United Nations General Assembly of fresh British atrocities in Cyprus, warning the West of impending doom at the Mediterranean's eastern end.

Now, as trest: terror flares In Cyprus, and British wives go down to gunmien's bullets, I think it is time you knew "Mr Avero!!" better.

His title: Foreign Minister of Greece. His age: 43. His appearance: bulky, well-lalfored, dark hair swiftly receding. His manner-smiling, in a surve sort of way.

And his self-dedicated mission: the removal of British troops, and every vestige of British Interest, from the island of Cyprus by every means in his power.

SHOULD the good MP be a man or a mouse?

Well, you don't need me to give you the generally accepted answer to that easy conun- drum. Make your inquiries either at the Tory or the Labour Whip's office and you will learn that obedience is the first of the parliamentary Ten Commandments.

Restraint, caution, diligence behind the scenes, a good safe seat and the other obvious vir- tues may all help to raise the ambiticus to the highest offices in the State.

Anarchy

But obedience to the party bosses-sometimes more attrae tively described as loyalty — is the cement which holds to- gether the whole ediftee of parliamentary government. Without it parties would conse to exist, democracy would be undermined and the House of Commons would become scene of anarchy and futile turmoil.

This is the view held, quito honestly, by nine out of ten of the practitioners of the political craft. Anyone who really dares to question the doctrine is dismissed as a crank, a trouble maker or an exhibitionist.
