Even some French non-Communists thought that the Socialist dirigisme-the "directed economy"-would be lost by listening to advice from the U.S. (see cut). In Britain a large and vocal bloc in the British Labor Party urged Ernest Bevin to steer clear of dependence on the U.S. (see below...
...Labor Party pamphlet which bluntly restated Labor's foreign policy. It will hear more this week, when party delegates convene for their annual conference at Margate (Britain's Atlantic City).

As Bevin climbed on his special train, Vishinsky warbled, in Russian, a drinking song, "The more we get together the merrier we'll be." Bevin descended to the platform, joined the chorus: "For your friends are my friends, and my friends are your friends."
