Letter from London

The Vice of Capitalism

It seems almost certain now that a new military base will be established in Kenya and the good offices of NATO enlisted in another attempt to solve the Cyprus problem. People are at last beginning to understand that, in spite of what Archbishop Makarios says, this is much more a dispute (and a singularly intractable one) between Greece and Turkey than a quarrel between Greece and Britain. But inflation has jumped back into the British headlines. We’ve just started down another incline and everyone has taken the opportunity to point out that we’re moving.
