POST-WAR POLICY
LABOUR’S FREE HAND
RUGBY, April 7
Mr. Attlee, addressing the Parliamentary Labour Party said that while victory was yet to be won, such progress had been made that it became the duty of the war-time Government to make plans for peace. Labour Ministers took a share in this necessary work. No one could tell under what circumstances the war would end, or what the situation would be when the General Election took place. As Mr. Churchill had stated, the nature of the post-war Government would depend on what the Parties decided. The Labour Party like others was entirely uncommitted, and remained free to make a decision at the appropriate time. Labour Ministers were equally uncommitted, and in the future, as in the past, would act in conformity wit’ii the policy determined by the Party. It is understood that the meeting expressed satisfaction with the statement.
