SLIP OF STATE
In the “letters” column of the London Daily Express, Mary Hughes of Towcester reported last winter: “I wrote to Mr Shin well, Minister of Fuel and Power: ‘Although not a Socialist I must congratulate you and ydur colleagues on a remarkable achievement. In less than two years you have reduced this country to a state of coldness, starvation and misery which the submarines and armed might of Germany could not do in six years. . . .” , “I received this acknowledgment: ‘Mr Shinwell is very grateful for your kind message of encouragement, which is much appreciated. He has received hundreds of similar letters from all over the country. The crisis is severe, but we shall win through’.”
