COMMON WEALTH PARTY
EXPLANATION OF POLICY London, April 13. Sir Richard Acland, parliamentary leader of the Common Wealth Party, in an address to the Overseas Empire Correspondents’ Association, said: “Our main trouble is to make the people realise we really mean what we say. We believe in abolishing the present system, not altering it. We don’t believe in public control of private industry. The present controls are not halfway towards Socialism—they are threequarters of the way towards Fascism. We believe in public ownership of the whole darn shooting match, right down to. but excluding one-man ownership of small businesses. The stock exchange. sh£re certificates, bonds and company promoters will not exist from a John o Groats to Land's End. I am absolutely confident this will be achieved at least in the next In years."
