Half Slave Half Free
The Houses of Parliament are now in the middle of their long summer recess. M.P.’s are away on their holidays. Ministers, on the other hand, are mostly staying at home or at any rate near the telephone. August, as Mr. Bevan pointed out, has been crisis season all our lives, and 1958 seems no exception. The ding-dong postal chess game with Mr. Khrushchev continues, while Mr. Macmillan flies imperturbable as ever to Athens and Ankara in another attempt to solve the insoluble problem of Cyprus.
