After seven days in "Britain's jus- tifiably weary capital, I needed steak. I had come here from Mot- cow where steaks--to foreigners and to some Russians--are as men as samovars and sometimes about as tough. in arm, we went steaking.

I'Tm taking you to a restaurant where I've known the manager for said my friend, who hap- pens to be one of England's best- known swing "band leaders. "We have a r.ystem.

The British people are down to what would appear to be the bottom of the barrel. They don't expect the American loan is going to bring them a great deal more, but they do expect some. They definitely.are the eating worse than they were the Jast timel was here--in iha middle of the Blitz. One look at my American friends shows them with.hanging auits and looso Russian wife, who with thinks the food at our hotel is awful. My baby won't eat half of it and we have a very i i cult time getting milk.
