Mr. and Mrs, Winant, 'Am' bassador and Madama and representatives of ' Free France, Greece end Belgium, Such a party might in fact have been held time and it was the circum-in which it was held that made it unique. "This sceptre isle has indeed become as the shadow of a grest rock in a weary land for ud there is no better emblem of stability in a reeling world than Buckingham Palace and its royal Owners. One wonders a little what M. Maisky thought of it all..He is, to use a much overdone but inevitble word. a really charming personality. with a way of crinkling his eyes when he smiles which gives added taste to his witty talk, a man as much at home with dukes as with dustman, Still there is rather a contrast, between the courts of Kings and the Kremlin, Not that one would say a word that would seem to imply criticism of Russia whose clever and magnificent resistance to the Germans thrills us daily, Whether you agree with the Soviet system or not (and way, the Dean of Canterbury has the laugh of us all now) t has surely given the Russians something they core to fight for, so that their arms shall break even a bow of steel. Hail to them!
