Petrifaction & Differences. In Tokyo, where he was shunned by Premier Yoshida and welcomed with open arms by the opposition Socialists, Nye Bevan agreed with his party chief that China's Communists seemed far more relaxed than those in Russia, who all "seemed petrified with fear in the presence of Malenkov." He called again for "peaceful coexistence between the nations of the world" and sought to torpedo the SEATO conference in Manila. Somewhat irrelevantly, he added: "There are ideological differences between Communism and Socialism, just as there are between Socialism and the United States, but we do not believe these...
...workers were now the enthusiastic owners of the plant. Further research, however, disclosed that 1) the mine had been confiscated from a British company, and the Laborites were now inspecting stolen property; 2) the British had had almost as high a production rate as the Communists now claim. Nye Bevan went down the mine and said he was impressed. Only later was he told that a supervisor had been taken out and shot not three days before.

The Soviet Premier, he said, was "a man with a warm sense of humor...
...unusual features of British public life today is the amount of anti-German feeling now being stirred up. Part of it is political: Nye Bevan and his left-wing Socialists are setting up a hue and cry about "Guns for the Huns"-not bothering, of course, to point out that the Communists have already armed East Germany. In Lord Beaverbrook, the maverick Tory press lord, the Socialists have an unexpected ally. His big Daily Express (circ. 4,000,000) is so het up that it caricatures Chancellor Adenauer as a Mephistopheles surrounded by Junker (see cut), and not content with...
