1 янв 1947 г. - "From that time onwards I had a strong
suspicion that there was some mysterious
Power at work behind the scenes controlling
the actions of the figures visibly taking part in
the Government of the country. I had not the
least idea whence this power emanated, nor
could I gauge the strength of its influence...
We always vaguely referred to this hidden
control amongst ourselves as the Treasury."
From Admiral to Cabin Boy by Barry Domville
