Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106-1346 F 7377 POLITI 58^S8i ABSTRACT The British left has confronted a dilemma in forming its attitude towards Israel in the postwar period. The establishment of the Jewish state seemed to force people on the left to choose between competing nationalisms - Israeli, Arab and later, Palestinian. Over time, a number of key developments sharpened the dilemma. My central focus is the evolution of thinking about Israel and the Middle East in the British Labour Party. I examine four critical periods: the creation of Israel in 1948; the Suez war in 1956; the Arab-Israeli war of 1967 and the 1980s, covering mainly the Israeli invasion of Lebanon but also the intifada. In each case, entrenched attitudes were called into question and longer-term shifts were triggered in the aftermath.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain National Affairs HE YEAR BEGAN BADLY FOR THE Labor government when Prime Minister Tony Blair's personal poll rating briefly fell from 62 to 49 percent, largely due to popular dissatisfaction with problems in the National Health Service, in- tensified by a flu epidemic. Labor's image deteriorated further when the party was unable to prevent the election of Ken Livingstone, a maverick independent left- wing MP, as the first directly elected mayor of London. Blair's warning that Liv- ingstone's election would be "ruinous" for London did not prevent the decisive defeat of Labor's official candidate for the mayoralty. This was followed by Labor defeats in the local council elections, and in June a keynote speech by Premier Blair at a conference of the Women's Institute movement was met by a "slow handclapping." The government recovered some of its poise in July when it an- nounced a program of public investment in transport, education, and the health service. This expenditure, it was proclaimed, was made possible by the govern- ment's prudent handling of the economy. In this way the government sought to make good what many critics considered to be its initial mistake in retaining the spending targets of the last Conservative government. In the meantime, the Conservative opposition, led by William Hague, turned to the right, campaigning against "bogus asylum seekers," taking a hardline pol- icy in Europe, and opposing the single EU currency. The Tories received a real boost in September when farmers and haulers blockaded a number of oil re- fineries in a peaceful protest of the high price of gasoline.

  • Western Europe
    Western Europe Great Britain Domestic Affairs J—/VENTS IN GREAT BRITAIN in 1976 and 1977 were dominated by economic developments, both favorable and unfavorable. At the end of the period, the country was in a decidedly optimistic mood, although it was doubtful whether the basic problems of productivity had been solved. Nineteen seventy-six began promisingly enough with a gradual fall in the mini- mum lending rate from 11 to 9 per cent. In March, however, events took a turn for the worse. The government's general economic strategy was rejected in Parliament by 28 votes. The lending rate rose from 9 per cent in March to 15 per cent in October. The value of the pound sterling fell from $2.02 to $1.70, and did not start to recover until the government announced budget cuts in July and December. These cuts paved the way for a loan from the International Monetary Fund amount- ing to £2,300 million. The economy was also bolstered by a loan of £1,765 million from the Bank of International Settlements and a loan of £873 million from a number of British, West German, and American banks. The ruling Labor Party dealt with the early phases of Britain's economic difficul- ties under the leadership of James Callaghan, who on March 16, 1976 replaced Prime Minister Harold Wilson. Callaghan had to contend with Labor's growing unpopularity. In May 1976, the Conservatives made substantial gains in local gov- ernment elections; in June and July, the Labor majority was further reduced; in November, Labor lost two additional seats to the Conservatives; in December, the Opposition made more gains.

  • School Medical Service, 1908-18
    Medical History, 1989, 33: 318-342. THE GROWTH OF TREATMENT THROUGH THE SCHOOL MEDICAL SERVICE, 1908-18 by J. DAVID HIRST * On28August 1907,theEducation(Administrative Provisions)Actreceived the Royal Assent.' One sub-clause in this measure gave local education authorities (LEAs) The duty to provide for the medical inspection ofchildren immediately before or at the time ofor as soon as possible after their admission to a publicelementary school, and on such other occasions as the Board of Education direct, and the power to make such arrangements as may be sanctioned by the Board of Education for attending to the health and physical condition of the children educated in public elementary schools.2 This sub-clause was the legal foundation for the School Medical Service in England and Wales, andtheoptionalpoweritconferred wasused byan increasingnumberofLEAs to provide medical treatment for schoolchildren found on inspection to have diseases or disabilities. In his study ofthe social legislation ofthe Liberal government of 1906 to 1914, Bentley B. Gilbert has suggested that this development ofsometimes quite extensive systems of medical treatment for schoolchildren was not wholly foreseen by the Parliamentarians debating the Bill. They had been the victims ofa political-administrative trick by which the evolution from personal medical inspection to personal medical carewasblurred anddisguised so that noteven the House of Commons, let alone the public, had the opportunity to discuss the change in any detail.3 Gilbert's argument suggests that the power to provide treatment was smuggled through Parliament almost unnoticed, allowing the subsequent development of systems of treatment by "ministerial order".4 This interpretation has influenced several subsequent accounts ofthe development of the School Medical Service, among them that ofDerek Fraser, who has suggested that R.
