BRITAIN'S LEADERS-No. 1

Arthur Greenwood

-Minister

Without

Portfolio

A DECISIVE moment in Arthur

Greenwood's life came when he was 40 years old. Perhaps it was a decisive moment also for millions of other people.

Certain it is that had he not taken the step he took then he would not now have been in the War Cabinet, would not have been one of British de- mocracy's great leaders, and would not have been helping to fashion policy in the greatest crisis not only of his own country but of the world.

Twenty years ago (and the amazing vitality and "aliveness" of the man make it difficult to realise that he is now 60) he turned his back on what most people thought were dazzling pro- spects for him in the Civil Service and, instead, joined the headquarters staff of the Labour Party.

Many of the materially- minded almost threw up their hands in despair. Here was a man approaching the prime of life, possessing great gifts and given apparently great opportunities.

There had opened out for bim a pleasant vista of comfort and security. The smooth things of

lay waiting for han to pick up. why did he let them We? The to that reveals the very Insiver essence of Arthur Greenwood who becue MLP for Nelson and Colne in 1922, and has represented Wakelleld since 1932. It was sur- med med up only the other in a phrase or two used by a friend of bis: "There has always been, and still is, too great a Blume in him for the pleasant

unt things to runt

day

Just because they are pleasant,”

The flame?" There is the key to ""Arthur" or "A.G.” na his in- mimerabate friends variously call

him. As a matter of fact, it is ex- tremely doubtful whether he would have made a good civil servant.

He is tall and thin, long- legged, and with a raking pur- poseful stride in his walk. His expression is essentially
