Churchill again became prime minister of Great Britain is truly a portent. For on the face of it, Churchill items to have adopted a good many of the views of his most dangerous political antagonist — Aneurin Bevan, leader of the left-wing, anti-American Socialist minority.On a whole series of issues, the Churchill government has come out flat-footed against the American position. The Schuman plan for pooling European iron and steel, and the European army scheme, are now, since they were adopted whole-heartedly by General of the Army Dwight D. Eisenhower, the twin pillars of American policy in Europe.Churchifi himself first pro-posed the European army idea, and he has often spoken out for European economic and political unity. Yet among the first acts of the Churchill government was to make, it perfectly dear that Greot Britain will take no active part in either scheme.• This is by no means all. Since he became prime minister, Churchill has pointed in apparent alarm to the “great, and ever growing” American air bases on British sail. The continued existence of these bases, as Churchill well knows, is at the very heart of the whole American strategic concept. In the few weeks since Churchill took power, moreover, the British government has clashed frontally with the United States on many lesser issues..Foreign Minister Anthony Eden, for example, has supported White Russia for the United Nations Security council, against Greece, the American candidate. The British have flatly refused to adopt the American small arms standard for the NATO countries, and have refused equally flatly to accept an American as NATO naval com-nander in the Atlantic. And so on.But by far the most important ssue concerns the level of arma-nents. Early this year, Aneurin Sevan resigned from tho Labor government, charging, among oth-t things, that the planned level £ British rearmament was dictat'd by American strategy, and rould wreck the British economy. i few days ago, Winston Churchill ose in the House of Commons to noounce that the British re arm a* sent effort would have to be harply reduced.
