For' a few days when both Mr Churchill and Mr Attlee were out of the country Mr Eden was, in fact if not by official description, Acting Prime Minister. There is no such recognisable office t?ut from his precedence in the War Cabinet it fell to Mr Eden to conduct business in the absence of the Prime Minister and his deputy. The somewhat abstract speculation that used to go on at one time over the likeliest successor in an emergency for Mr Churchill —Mr Eden and Sir John Anderson were the only two seriously mentioned—is not advanced by this fact, and the leadership, for instance, of the Conservative party is not'necessarily influenced by it; but the War Cabinet's fixed order of precedence— Churchill. Attlee. Eden, Anderson, Bevin, Lyttelton, Morrison, and Woolton—is worth noting.— (London “Observer.”)
