The Waterbury Democrat., 1941-10-29

The upper class conservatives tol- crate Bevin because he represents the group upon which they must depend to win this war. But labor, while currently acknowledging Rev. ill as its champion, is today split, 1 and when present emergency war laws are one day reScinded, the burly labor leader from Bristol will probably find that he, too, lacks a great political future.
 So Anthony Eden is again the bright boy of British politics and today he unofficially admits that it feels good. It was in 1888 that he resigned his post e3 Foreign Secre- tary in disagreement with the Chamberlain faction over Mussoli- nj and the Italian question and re- tired-at age 38-to the country with his wife Beatrice and their two sons. Since then he has been a dis appointment to his many friends.
 They could not understand his reluctance to head a new liberal party and were puzzled when he refused to accuse his former col- leagues in the Cabinet, all members of the Conservative party, of diplo- matic blundering and lack of vision. And they were angry when he bore the blame, as Foreign Secretary, for all that happened during that ill., fated period. Winston Churchill now says: Eden was made to bear 8 good deal of discredit which prop erly rested on others"
 PARTY REGULARITY
 PAID DIVIDENDS
 That's over now, and Eden'S re- luctance to kick over the party line has paid dividends. He has the un- qualified support of the Conservative party, still the most potent backing political figure in England can get.
 And Winston Churchill, head of that Conservative party, has ack- nowledged this backing by drawing into his cabinet, first as War Min iSter, then as Foreign Secretary, the man they once labeled the Beau Brummel of British politics"
 The first thing Eden did when he became Foreign Secretary was to cut down the elaborate quarters at the Foreign Office which Lord Halifax had made into a combina- tion eight-room office-apartment. He reduced the place to two rooms and turned the rest into small offices for key clerks.
 He sleeps and works in these quarters and each day he follows about the same routine. A Foreign Office messenger, who acts as his valet, lays out his clothes, draws a tepid bath. then calls his chief at eight. Eden bathes, dresses, eats breakfast and then goes straight to his desk in another room. Until ten o'clock in the morning he pores over reports, dictates memoS and code messages to the men of the foreign staff in the British embassy offices of the world.
 At ten, he leaves for the cus- tomary Cabinet meeting at No. 10 Downing. This gives him thirty minutes in which. to walk through St. James park for the only exer- else he gets, aside from an occa- sional game of tennis in the coyn- try.
 After luncheon he's back in his office for an afternoon crowded with appointments. At no time does he

Republican Ticket to get gooQ CuC- ting from their regular party mem- bers on grounds of personal unpop- ularity and lack of qualifications.
 Those Independent Republicans and Democrats who have clamOred for good government for years have a chance to continue 8 good administration if they are sincere. If they discard this administration they are not likely to get its equal for long time from either party.
 The Republicans are hamstrung on the economy issue. MT. Post Of Good Government history says MT. Perriello is 100 per cent for. the Tax payers League program of ecoonmy, but on the same night Clark Newton appeals for votes by promising pay increases which every voter knows costs a lot of taxes and money. They should get together. especially on the same night. The Republicans have talked economy for too many years to have city employees take too much stock in their promises during a campaign.
 Clark Newt0n's shot at the Leary bond settlement was 3 dud bomb that made no noise and has no reverberations. The settlement was urged by bipartisan conn., mittee containing prominent Re- publicans who knew good offer when they saw 1t and who believed as most people do about law suits that bird i'm the hand is worth two in the bush.
 Mayor Scully sticks to local issues and will not digreSs to other issues, even though some voters might be appealed to thereby. He stands on his record and with his associates.
 Of course there are disgruntled Democrats, some for sincere req sons, mere because they are not on
 the payroll. Party leaders know about it and know who's whO", but are not concerned with their numbers. In politics 1t always pays to be on the band-wagOn and regular, not Bolshevik or sour.
