'WE HAVE BEEN to the brink of world war. This'is
the work of the United Nations, the United States, and the USSR. A Middle East parcelled between Russian Marxists and American moralisers spells, a world partitioned by dollar and rouble colonial- ism—or a world in ashes. . . . We must be ready to use armed force to protect our shipping . . and check the drift to world war.' Thus M4. John Biggs-Davison, Conservative MP for Chigwell, giving an interesting illustration of the fact that the old Suez madness has not ceased to burn in the veins of his party. Apart from obviously being a•man who believes in making cold omelettes rise twice, he should be a little careful about the way he puts things. I seem to have some vague itcol- lection of the last person to talk about a world partitioned between rouble and dollar. I am sure Mr. Biggs-Davison would not wish to resemble Dr. Goebbels.
