Pastoral Scene In Heart Of London

It may be difficult to believe, but the above pic- ture was taken recently in the heart of London. What the camera's eye caught was part of the Royal Parks flock of sheep enjoying the autumn sun- shine among the falling Teaves In Green Park, not a stone's throw from the busy Piccadilly traffic.

Throughout today's paratroop operation General Mac- Arthur sat in a swivel chair in his aircraft watching the men drop and smoking a whito Meerschaum pipe with a gold band. He seldom talked to the other occupants of his plane and said that he would not talk to the air-drop commanders on the plane's radio unless there was an emergency.

The task of being Chancellor is never an easy one, nor is it a popular office. - Sir Staford Cripps has had to perform The duties during one of the most critical periods in English history, at a time when the country was literally. bankrupt and im- mediately after a war which had penetrated and affected every home In the British Isles. Sir Stafford was made almost an economic dictator in 1947, during the nation's greatest financial

crisis, He was simultaneously the country's Chancellor of the Exchequer and its first Minister for Economic Affairs. To him was given the formidable task of overcoming Britain's shortage of dollars in a world economy dominated by the American dollar. His task, among others. was to try and increase British exports to the "dollar arca" and at the same time reduce imports to Britain. Failure to achieve this meant virtual starvation for Britain. Sir Stafford's master plan was Austerity, and a country which for nina years had had to live very close to the minimum in the matter of food and other essentials, was told that it had further to tighten its belt in the name of Recovery. It is almost certain that posterity wil write Sir Stafford as the most unpopülar Chancellor in the history of England; what it may also have to do, be it with some reluctance, is to recognise him as the most brilliantly successful. For Bir Stafford Cripps, with his ruthless demands for restrictive living, "his dictatorial im position of the Purchase Tax, his restrain ment of wages and proflis, and his Haxhaustible energy in driving the

Sir Stafford was once the stormy petrel of the Labour Party, but the Party always needed his vast intellect, and they need it more today than ever before, if only to offset the unfortunate impression left on the public by such Socialists as Shinwell and Strachey.
