For President Truman obviously vetoed Mr. Churchill's plan for talking peace with Stalin, and Mr. Churchill backtracked on the previous British government's attitude of "hands off Formosa."

HISTORIANS may remember the early days of Queen Elizabeth's reign as a time when Britons rose and snapped their fingers at the past. Amid heartfelt mourning- for the King, there st'leams a slender, glimmering hope a feeling bred in the bones that maybe Britain, having reached greatness under three queens, can look forward to doing o again. : The national mood is reflected in newspaper correspondence columns, in street-corner conversations, in earnest editorials pleading for a revival of religious feeling, for a new code of moral values, for longer and harder work. ' One newspaper has run a series on the "New Elizabethans," profiles of blithe young spirits who will lead Britain back to a golden age in which the jaound will be paramount and the imperial erown aain a thing of beauty. As a psychological phenomenon, this wishful surge of sentiment, as it were a spiritual sigh, perhaps reflects more clearly than anything else a deeply-rooted discontent with the last 12 nagging years of anxiety and conflict, of crisis and frustration. John Bull wants to start again from scratch. ; What are the chances? Are'things really as bad 4s they seem, or can Britain come back? The writers who asked these questions all agree it can be done, iiven certain conditions. The Weekly Economist, for instance, considers that if the people can respond w ith the spirit they Showed under the great queens of the past, "hopefulness would be sobriety and optimism would be wisdom." ; Arthur Bryant, author of "The Age of Elegance," reviews the spacious ages of Queen Elizabeth I, Anne and Victoria, and predicts that under the second Elizabeth, embodying the tradition and heritage of a thousand years, Britain will "show tho world that it can equal and surpass the highest achievements of its ancestors.'" ; Possibly not all observers can be so hopeful. The fact is that this trading nation faces an era of Economic nationalism and economic self-sufficiency, the day of cheap food imports, part of the success ijtory in the days of the industrial revolution, seems to be gone for good. I Things may be tough whatever happens." What perhaps complicates the picture, in view of many disinterested observers, is that at a time when united national effort is needed, people are more intent on individual: rights and wrongs. Old grievances die haitl; what The Economist calls the "bitterness bred in the sufferings of the '30s" helps justify restrictive practices in industry, i There are other problems, such as the government's difficulty in imposing really severe austeri- Northwest Territories and the number of the?: seats, ln the Commons are subtracted from the figures for the country" as a whole.
