Labour Seeks To Win Housewives’ Support
LONDON, Feb. 9. A determined bid to win the mass support of British housewives at the 1950 general election is made in Labour’s "second five years' plan," which was hammered into shape at a national executive committee meeting today, says Reuter’s political corres- ,; pondent. The plan at present is only provisional and proposes to ease the housewives’ burden through municipal and other labour-saving services rang- . ing from public laundries to improved goods distribution. The plan makes a list of important -industries as possible subjects for nationalisation. They include Imperial Chemical Industries, insurance, water supply, shipbuilding, flour industry, sugar industry and certain of the distributive trades, notably coal and sections of agriculture. This list may be considerably cut before the plan is approved by the executive , One of the main aims of the plan is • to consolidate the Socialist programme already carried out by the Labour Government.
