SUPPORT ASSURED
MR BEVIN’S FOREIGN POLICY DIFFICULTIES APPRECIATED \ (Rec. 10 p.m.) LONDON, Oct. 21. The parliamentary correspondent of The Times, commenting on Mr Bevin’s review of British foreign policy in the House of Commons to-morrow, says that as far as peace-making is concerned Mr Bevin can count on the broad support of the House, which is well aware of the magnitude of his task and the patient effort he is making to achieve success. There is a critical minority within his own party that is opposed* to him on Russia, and there are other Labour back-benchers who confine their criticism more to specific questions like Greece and Spain. It would seem that there are degrees of opposition rather than a body of out-and-out opponents. That state of affairs probably explains why Mr Bevin earlier in 1946 was able to win such an outstanding vote of confidence from the parliamentary parly. The correspondent adds that it would be surprising if Mr Bevin could not claim on a similar vote to-mor-row in support of his general policy.
