| Description: | Barker says: "How long are we going to have you with us Mr. Stevenson?" Stevenson: "Well I hope to stay her for a week or ten days possibly longer. I may decide to take a little holiday before I go back to the United States." Barker: "In this country?" Stevenson: "Yes probably I don't know. I haven't yet made up my mind." Barker: "When you arrived in Paris, you were reported to say that President Auriol might have asked you to form a government. Have you any similar thoughts about this country yet?" Stevenson: (Laughing) "No no, you don't seem to be without a government. I would like to say in all sobriety that I've been more and more impressed during this long journey about the earth, with the indispensable importance of the cooperation and the mutuality of understanding of the United Kingdom and of my country. We shall have our differences no doubt. We can't always agree on everything, but I firmly believe and I have seen many testimonials of the fact that our two countries which have an indispensable responsibility for the future of our world, do look at the world as a light and see it as a whole. I hope and pray that this understanding and mutuality will continue and for my part I can think of no greater contribution to our times than to contribute somewhat to that understanding." Barker: "Thank you very much Mr. Stevenson." Stevenson: "And I might say that I'm mighty glad to be in England, where I lived for some time after the war and where I have been from time to time since early youth and where my family all came from. I might say the weather hasn't changed a bit since I left here in 1946." LS Stevenson alighting and posing on steps of B.E.A. plane. MS Stevenson enters car and drives away.
