The country normally a bit "left of center" has made an effort to swing back to her old position.

This move obviously involves a rebuke to the Socialist government by some voters who felt it had overreached its mandate in carrying out its program. The electorate's purpose was emphasized by the smashing defeat dealt out to the Communist and left-wing Labor independents.

The same thing happened to all five left-wing Labor independents who had fought the regular party program by advocating closer relations with Russia.

The Socialist government's majority of 10 votes is far too small for security. A few cases of illness simultaneously, or absence of Labor members on government business, could lay the party open to defeat cn some measure.

The alternative would be the holding of another general election right away, which would put the country under a heavy strain.

Attlee will accept the mandate and go ahead until fate overtakes him- That will call for the treading of a straight and narrow path and the avoidance of highly controversial legislation.
