He was then appointed editor of the News Chronicle, which he took in a more radical direction, investigating and critically reporting on the British Union of Fascists, and recruiting writers such as Vernon Bartlett, Tangye Lean, and Gerald Barry. He also launched a Saturday supplement on green newsprint. However, he resigned in 1936 after pressure from subeditors over his persistent drunkenness and lukewarm support for the Liberal Party. He spent the remainder of the decade as an occasional contributor to the Evening Standard, and was finance editor of the New Statesman from 1937 to 1939. During World War II, Vallance was a lieutenant-colonel, working as the liaison between the War Office and the Political Warfare Executive. A supporter of the communist Partisans, he named a son Tito, after Josip Broz Tito. From 1950 to 1955, he returned to the New Statesman as assistant editor. He also wrote several books, on the press and on economic affairs. (en)
