8 The writer was present in Great Britain during ten days of the closing period of the campaign and immediately afterwards during which he visited Glasgow, Derbyshire, West Sussex, as well as the London area. This postscript has been written within a day of his return by aeroplane and consequently is more impressionistic than the detailed analysis which he hopes to make in due course.
