CIVIL WAR.

LABOUR SYMPOSIUM. < Convulsion in Britain After ] Return to Power. SETTING UP SOCIALISM. (United P.A.—Electric Telegraph—Copyright) ( (Received 2 p.m.) LONDON, August 27. Civil war and a dictatorship following the election of a Socialist i Government are startling possibilities 1 envisaged by. Sir Stafford Cripps, son ■< of Lord Parmoor, and Solicitor- < General in the last Labour Ministry, 1 in a symposium of the views of 1 Labour leaders entitled, "The Prob- , lenis of a Socialist Government." He declares that the first task of a 1 Socialist Government would be to pass an Emergency Powers Bill empowering ! Cabinet to establish Socialism without consulting Parliament. I Sir Stafford foresees that the measure ' would not pass the House of Lords and the Crown. If it were dccided to continue in power unconstitutionally, the upshot would be a conilict with the Crown, the House of Lords and the Judiciary, throwing the country into convulsion and leading to a capitalist ; uprising, which would have to be quelled by force. Sir Stafford, in a letter, denies that ho approves of a dictatorship as a method of introducing Socialism. "The Times," in an editorial, retorts that the' methods are indistinguishable.
