CONSERVATIVES ARE DIVIDED, SAYS MR MORRISON

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 inforrfi the people of the country, who really have the r.ght to know —what policy wil 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 clearoutlook of the Labour Government. Th Q truth is, of course., that their leader has run Western Union too hard for the Tory mind.
