Harold Macmillan addresses Conservative meeting at Bedford; ENGLAND: Bedfordshire: Bedford: Bedford Football Ground: EXT CS Harold Macmillan (Prime Minister) speaking (others in BG) SOF: - "Go around the country, go around the industrial towns, or go to the farms, and you will see a state of prosperity such as we have never had in my lifetime - nor indeed in the history of this country. - "What is beginning to worry some of us is just this, especially some of the older ones of us, who will remember the old days. Is this. Is it too good to be true>> Or perhaps I should say, is it too good to last? For amidst all this prosperity there is one problem that has troubled us for one way or another ever since the war. It is the problem of rising prices. - "Monetary policy, restriction of credit, acceleration or retardation, in the investment programmes over which the govt has control. These are the measures which we have to intensify or relax, according to the state of the economic barometer. All these steps are good. But all of them anyway are necessary. But in the long run there is only one answer, to the £64,000 question. And that is to increase production. That's the answer..." Orig. Neg. ITN Crockett 16mm 1-29 secs. Tx 20.7.57./10.30.p,m.
