Britons, when asked to remember Geneva, are more inclined to remember Budapest.

The government views its present program, undertaken in 1950 under the pressure of Korean conflict, as ill-adapted to the present need for long-range planning. Prime Minister Macmillan argues, further, that an economically burdened England could never...
