MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: Mr Macmillan Interviewed. SHOTLIST: Two lenses on Macmillan making a prepared statement.
Researcher Comments
Speech: Every now and again since the war I hear people say isn’t Britain only a second or third class power, now isn’t she on the way out. What nonsense. This is a great country so don’t lets be ashamed to say so. It has a superb record of achievement. We’ve been in the lead with industrial and scientific progress at least since James Watt invented the steam engine and we’re still in the lead in these days of atoms and aeroplanes, so we have no reason to be frightened of temporary difficulties. Britain has been great, is great and will stay great. Provided we close our ranks and get on with the job.
