low ebb 15 months ago. Most of the credit was given to the prime minister himself, for his imitiae tive in the cold war and his ree- ord of prosperity at home. ‘ Labor Party headquarters was wrapped in gloom.at 57 minutes after midnight when word came from Leeds that party leader Hugh Gaitskell had conceded. Only a short time after he had won his own seat—though by a reduced majority — the Socialist standardbearer announced:
CONCEDE DEFEAT
“In view of the results which have now come in. we feel bound te concede the result of the elec- tion. It is obvious that there will be a Conservative government.
“It is the will of the people, and we accept it."
Cheers greeted the prime min-. ister as he turned up at Con- servative headquarters shortly afterwards. With characteristie understatement Macmillan had this comment on the result: “It has gone off rather well.”’
More exuberant was party chairman Lord Hailsham, whe shouted: “This is the moment of truth.” :
Frank Byers, chairman of the Liberal Party, which increased its popular vote, replaced Labor as the second party in more than a few contests and actually gained a seat from the Conserva- tives, said the gutcome proved that “Socialism is out of date.”
NO POWER BALANCE
“The young people are coming over to us,” he added. But there was no chance that the Liberals, long the odd party out in British politics, would take over as hold- ers of the balance of power in @ closely-divided house.
