MINISTER’S COMMENT ON CONSERVATIVE PARTY CONFERENCE
(Rec. 10.20 a.m.) LONDON, October 17.
The Lord President of the Council, Mr Herbert Morrison, speaking at Leeds, said that “the Llandudno hullaboloo” (Conservative Party conference) had little echo. Its noise had died and he was laying a wreath on its grave. “The conference,” he said, “did little to inform the people of the country—who really have the right to know—what policy will be pursued by a Conservative Government, if and when it is returned to power. The Conservatives do not know what to do about nationalisation. Although they have opposed our schemes, they do not appear to have the courage to say that they will return the coal mines to the mineowners or other socialised industries to private enterprise. They are divided about the relationship between the British Commonwealth and Western Union, as compared with the clear outlook of the Labour Government. The truth is, of course, that their leader has run Western Union too hard for the Tory mind.”
