BALANCED PROGRAMME
LABOUR IN BRITAIN (Rec. 8 a.m.) LONDON, Feb. 25. Mr C. R. Attlee, in a speech to the Bradford Labour Party, said: “The Labour Party will not go to the election with a demand that everything should be-nationalised.” The. party would go forward with a programme , in which nationalisation of certain basic services would take, a proper place as an instrument-for the building of the kind of Britain all wanted to see. “We of the Labour Party are not lovers of control for its own sake,” Mr Attlee,stated. “ but we know that for the sake of freedom of the individual there must be a degree of control. If we seek at once to throw off all war controls we shall not be acting wisely. The elections of 1918 were a fraud on the electors, and were won on the catch cries * Homes for Heroes.’ ‘ Hang the Kaiser,’ and ‘ Make the Germans Pay.’ The country suffered for that. We will nos want anything of that sort this •imo. I do not want to promise our people that the immediate period after the defeat of Germany is going to be an easy time, when the people can relax.’>
