...Name, Go. In the House of Commons, Laborite after Laborite leaped to his feet to denounce the Kabaka's deposition as a "classic blunder" and the person and policies of Colonial Secretary Oliver Lyttelton as disastrous.

If this list passes from the Indian guards to the Polish and Czech members of the commission, the U.N.'s basic principle of "no forced repatriation" will look sick indeed: the Communists could simply tell the P.W.s, via explainers...
