Gollancz: believes it to be 'gaudery' a large bead or ornamentation in a collective sense, not specified to a green colour.
Gollancz notes that dok is a difficult word, arguing that the OED classifies a dok as a "tail", as "the solid fleshy part of an animal's tail", and as "a piece of leather harness covering the clipped tail of a horse".
Gollancz points out that "the reference in the text seems to not only be to the tail, but also to the forelock." While noting that 'dock' comes to refer to the cut end of hair.

The only answer, it seemed to Gollancz and others, was for Labourites, Liberals and communists to forget their differences and form, as they had done in France, a Popular Front government to cope with the emergency.
Gollancz knew that the LBC had made little impression on the government and was increasingly frustrated by his inability to transform the club from a thriving minority organisation into a mass movement.
Gollancz grew incensed when he found out that the CP was turning a number of LBC groups into Stop-the-War committees.

On the recommendation of Wedgwood Benn, Gollancz was employed by Benn Brothers to develop the list of magazines the company published.

Gollancz’s book, which has received a wide sale in England, is a welcome and eloquent tribute to the value of personality and a warm-hearted appeal for its preservation.
Gollancz is a socialist and subscribes to the socialist ethic, but he is not a Marxist.
Gollancz states that he is sensitive to the means-ends fallacy, but nevertheless falls victim to it I agree, he says to the Russians, with your end (socialism), but I disagree with your means (contempt of personality).

That creed, says Gollancz, may be accepted or rejected but should not be reduced to the petty levels of convenient compromise.
Gollancz concentrates on two major social phenomena which he feels most markedly violate his creed of Christian love: the practices of the Stalin dictatorship and the Allied occupation policy in Germany.
Gollancz' most fiery bolts are directed against British and, by indirection, U.S. policy in Germany.
