...balance. The U.S.S.R. made it menacingly plain that it would do everything it could and dared to prevent German rearmament. The Soviet attitude stirred neutralists and others to support a "conference at the summit" as a substitute for German rearmament.

"I do not believe the government have seized all the opportunities they might," said cockney Herbert Morrison, Labor's last Foreign Secretary, speaking at Eastleigh in Hampshire. "The Labor government would be more energetic. I mean, compare the mentality of the Tories and the Socialists. We're the lively lot, they're the slothful...
