Anthony Eden speaks at Tory / Conservative Party Conference.
Brighton, East Sussex.
L/S of the speakers' platform at the Tory Party Conference as the Mayor of Brighton says how highly honoured Brighton is to be hosting the conference. Several rows of men and women (MPs?) are sitting on the platform.
Loud applause from the delegates and audience as Anthony Eden goes to the podium to make his speech. He talks of the current Government being Socialist and lists several humorous references to that fact. He says the nation is now suffering from Government's too rigid commitment to their policy and says it's impossible to go up and down the country without hearing "What would the Tories do about it". He opines that it is their duty to answer this question and lists true leadership as an important factor. He talks of policies being thought out in imperial terms. Harold Macmillan is seen sitting at the front table of the delegates.
Several cuts in the speech make it hard to grasp the main gist of some of his points. Eden says firmly "No more nationalisation, let us unite and not divide the nation on economic policy". He urges to stop the inflation by a properly balanced budget. He says exports should come out of greater production "so that we share in plenty rather than in scarcity".
He ends by saying the Conservatives stand for the individual and regard the family as the basic social unit and the sanctity of family life as vital to the health of the state.

Terrorism is nothing new. The Pathe archive has a vast collection of material related to terrorist attacks dating back to 1919 right through to the 2005 London bombings.
The death penalty has been carried out in almost all societies and although these images from WWI and WWII are unsettling, they still provide a raw account of events from a certain time.
The images taken from inside Buchenwald Concentration Camp after its Liberation show us what it was like; it tells us what happened and forces us to remember.
The great politician and orator Winston Churchill left behind a sea of humourous quips and discerning quotes. We remember some of his finest epigrams and witty ripostes.
WW2 accounted for over 60m deaths and innumerable lives shattered. Pathé cameras took to land, sea and air to record the bloodshed. Here are the 10 bloodiest battles that were caught on film.
Life before health and safety laws; men worked at huge heights, balancing on girders and cranes all in order to help build the world's tallest skyscrapers.
Over its history, the Pathe cameras filmed a number of people who had committed heinous crimes. So in no particular order, these images show ten faces of truly evil men and women.
