| | British Prime Ministers: MacMillan, Maurice Harold (1894-1986) |
 | | Macmillan's reputation was partly rehabilitated by the successful negotiations (July 1963) among Great Britain, the United States, and the Soviet Union for the Nuclear Test-Ban Treaty, but demands continued within his own party for a new and younger leader, and, after undergoing surgery, he resigned his office on Oct. 18, 1963. | | | Macmillan refused a peerage and retired from the House of Commons in September 1964. | | | After the Conservatives regained power in 1951, he was successively appointed minister of housing and local government (October 1951) and minister of defense (October 1954) by Churchill and then served as foreign secretary (April-December 1955) and chancellor of the exchequer (1955-57) under Sir Anthony Eden. |

| | This was a policy favoured by Macmillan's first chancellor, Peter Thorneycroft, and by his junior ministers, Nigel Birch and Enoch Powell - the latter providing the doctrinal foundation for polices thought obsolete in the 1950s but newly-fashionable 20 years later. | | | In 1951 Macmillan had become minister of housing, achieving the target of 300,000 houses a year and so helping to create the "property-owning democracy" which lay at the heart of Conservative thinking. | | | During the long years of retirement, Macmillan mostly refrained from public comment on political matters, although he spoke a number of times in favour of European unity. |

Harold Macmillan, Britain's Prime Minister from 1956 to 1962 (the period bracketed by Suez and Profumo), was without doubt the most important and influential figure in British politics since Churchill. | | | ...For the fact is that Macmillan was a remarkably able and-what is even more important-devious politician who knew that his devices would be all the more successful if concealed behind a facade of candor... | | | ...there is no doubt that he backed Macmillan against But- ler when Eden resigned... |

| | Nevertheless, the influence of Knoxwas considerable, and throughout his life, as a devout churchgoer, he leaned toward Anglo-Catholicism rather than to the Church of Scotland into which the Macmillans had been born. | | | ONE OF THE least-known episodesin his life, and one about which he was always most reticent, was his near conversion to Roman Catholicism at the beginning of World War I. His great friend and mentor, Ronald Knox, did "pope,' but Macmillan jibbed at the last fence. | | | One of the outstanding characteristics of Harold Macmillan was his spiritual fortitude, in which was perhaps combined elements of both sects. |

| | Macmillan was the last representative of the prewar generation—he had served in World War I, entered Parliament in the 1920s, and lived through the time when Britain could still claim major international influence—to control the Conservative party and run the country. | | | Harold Macmillan's period as prime minister, which stretched from 1957 to 1963, divides the Churchillian from the Thatcherite world. | | | The two most significant prime ministers of the next quarter-century, Harold Wilson and Margaret Thatcher, saw their mission, with some exactitude, as being to efface if not destroy the values Macmillan stood for and the world he was thought to have preserved. |
