ONLY AN EXPERT touch could have triumphed in this situation. But in a little over two years, Macmillan united his party and placated a majority of the voters. He did it by applying a businessman's approach to the needs of the time. If a trip to Paris, Bonn or Washington seemed called for, Maccnillan never hesitated. He went.

WHEN THE POUND showed signs of strain, he acted, imposing restrictions on credit that were widely unpopular. Under fire from his opponents, he never got flurried. Nor-did he ever fail by a political subordinate who slipped up in line of duty. These qualities undoubtedly had a cumulative effect on the British voter. Macmillian now is as stable a part of old England as Big Ben.

Like Sir Winston, Churchill before him, Macmillan was born of a British-American marriage. His mother was the former 'Nellie Belles of Indianapolis. His father was Maurice a publisher and amateur musician. They were married in Paris during the 1880s. WHEN YOUNG Harold came of age, he the family publishing Today it is one of Britain's biggest.
