MR

By Ernest Thurtiö, M.P.

DALTON, invigorated, as a result of his reat from Ministerial cares, is now back on the parliamentary. scene..

Not the sort of man to be content to tako things easy, he will, I imagine, be netivo in many directions, but for the time being mostly behind the scenes.

Until he gets office again the impact of his vigorous intellect upon the Labour Party organi- sation, particularly on issues of foreign policy and finance, is likely to be much more pronounced.

I do not mean that he will necessarily be critical of Government policy. But, as at pre- sent he cannot have an outlet for his active mind. in Cabinet discussion, he is likely to seek such an outlet within the party 'organisation.

This in turn may have its influence upon Government policy.

"A very interesting result," said Haydn Davies Cheshire cutting.

Such scruples were finally over- come mainly by the argument that the use of the bomb would avoid the immenso losses of American fighting men which would inevitably be incurred in a full-scale invasion of the Japanese mainland.
