War optimism was reserved to refectory waitresses, who said ‘The boys of the bulldog breed will win through’. The greater cynicism was reserved to the university communists.

Indeed, I was told by Gerry Wolfson that what was needed was a play that would forecast what was undoubtedly soon to happen. The Nazis would be overthrown by the German communists, but the war would continue. Churchill (this was just after he had formed his National Government) would give speeches about an evil to be combated, and the new communist evil would be indistinguishable from the old Nazi one. This play was to be the work of a syndicate or collective or committee. It came to nothing save a few lines from an Audenesque chorus:

Weigh guns against butter, he said,

But how can you spread

Guns on bread?
