Britain's balky, bumbling Foreign Secretary Bevin had been urged by the U.S. to grant recognition before the Israeli elections last week, in order to encourage the Israeli moderates against the extremists. But Bevin stubbornly refused to be hustled. As it turned out, the Israeli moderates did well anyway...
...Bevin really want agreement? It was hard to tell from his hesitation in the days preceding recognition of Israel by Britain. Winston Churchill, fresh and saucy after a vacation on the French Riviera, raked him with merciless verbal talons. Churchill spoke of "folly, fatuity and futility . . . the quintessence of maladresse" and compared Bevin to a cuttlefish which retires "under a cloud of inky water and vapor . . . to some obscure retreat...

Still, they believe that, in order to achieve European union, the British must take military and economic risks, i.e., gamble...
...because Bramuglia had been unable to get the U.N. to consider seriously her Declaration of Rights of Old Age. Worst of all, in sharing the Paris dinner table-and the headlines -with U.S. Secretary of State George Marshall, Soviet Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Vishinsky and British Foreign Secretary Ernest Bevin, Bramuglia had reached the top of the ladder. In Argentina there is room for only one person (and wife) on the top rung...
