From the January 1946 issue of the Socialist Standard
"Little did I ever dream that I should live to see the City Fathers cheer a Chancellor of the Exchequer who had recently introduced a Budget on behalf of a Socialist Government that had achieved Power!"Yet this happened yesterday when, before the Mansion House luncheon, the new Lord Mayor of London greeted, one after another, Morrison, Dalton,, Bevin and Bevan, Shinwell, Jowitt, Lawson, and the rest, and, finally, Attlee and his wife."None had a better reception that did Hugh Dalton!" 'A Socialist Budget would ruin the City,' we have always been told. Actually, the City applauded it!"— (Hannen Swaffer, Daily Herald, 10th November, 1945.)
