No. 194 Conservative Leader Fears Communism Wolverhampton, Eng., July 23 HP Winston Churchill fired the first big gun In the conservative party's campaign for the 1950 elections today with a charge that socialism threatens Britain and many other countries with "chaos and communism." The party chief and wartime prime minister denounced the la bor government as a group of well meaning but bungling men. Me said there was no real differ- . ence" between the socialist sys tem tney espoused and commun ism. . "Both are fatal to liberty as we have known It," Churchill said. He spoke at a party meeting of some 50,000 persons in the Wol verhampton athletic stadium. A few hours earlier the party had published Its platform charging that a British socialist state was merely a "stepping stone of the communists to power. z z Crisis Predicted Continuation of the socialist ex periment in Britain, Churchill said, would cause a crisis in the struggle between the "western liberal and parliamentary demo cracy and the forces of aggres sive semi-Astatic totalitarianism.". He said the conservatives would stop all further moves toward nationalization of industry, re verse all nationalization projects possible, and continue social ser vices in a more efficient manner. He was especially, critical, of a government announcement that it had spent $3,600,000,000 in gifts and loans to help world recovery. "What is the sense, or indeed the sanity, of borrowing a thous and millions from the United States with one hand, to enable us to get on our feet again and giv ing it away to foreigners with the other?" he asked. The conservative party was swept- out of office by the labor party in- the general elections of July, 1945. The elections were for a five-year period. "A conservative government will do all in its power to facili tate a lasting settlement between Israel . and the Arab countries," the statement said. NEW THREAT ARISES London, July 23 HP The labor government faced renewed threats of a slowdown on its na tionalist railways today, only a few hours after it settled the dock strike, which put the nation on short rations this week end. The new crisis developed when the National Union of Railway men rejected a wage decision made by a conciliation board be cause it did not cover all of the 620,000 rail workers. W. T. Pot ter, president of the National Un ion of Railwaymen said, "A very serious situation has developed." The rejection will be placed be fore a special delegate meeting Monday. Union officials said the slowdown at Manchester might spread over the country unless quick settlement of the wage is sue is reached. Dock Strike Ended The new threat arose even while the government wondered whether the return to work de cision by dock workers would be completely effective Monday. The 16,000 strikers, who originally walked out rather than work Can adian ships, decided to go back at a meeting yesterday at which they stressed "no victimization." Lord Ammon, chairman of the dock labor board, announced last night that his group might not accept the strikers' conditions, , which include a so-called holiday bonus. Lord Ammon, who lost his job as chief government whip in the house of lords because of his disagreement with the dock strike policy, said he could not consider a strike as behavior worthy of a bonus.
