When he is in the mood for Yank-baiting, no one does it with more enthusiasm than Yank-admiring Lord Beaverbrook, 81, Canadian-born proprietor of the London Daily Express (circ. 4,250,000) and three other British papers. Beaverbrook's intermittent brand of anti-Americanism rests on the suspicion that the U.S. is out to reduce Britain to satellite status, has manifested itself in everything from his opposition to a 1946 U.S. loan to Britain ("We have sold the Empire for a trifling sum") to wild editorial outcries at the Ford Motor Co.'s recent...

...Dissenters. Amidst the cheers Hammarskjold's Congo policy has won, there were voices of dissent. In London, Lord Beaverbrook's empire-minded Daily Express complained that U.N. intervention in the Congo "is an act of brigandage and oppression cloaked by sanctimoniousness . . . Every agitator in Africa looks with hope to Dag Hammarskjold."
