SOCIALIST PROPOSALS
Six*, —I challenge the New Zealand Welfare League to quote any utterance of Sir Stafford Cripps, K.C., in nhich ho advocates "a. general strike" to establish Socialism. May I quote tho exact words he used in his speech 'at Portsmouth on December 16: "So long as the democratic machinery exists we shall certainly use it to bring about the fundamental changes in the economic isystem of our country which no belinve to be necessary. Wc need a san<>r system of production and distribution. This can be accomplished only by national control of the means of production, with compensation to those who are dispossessed. The transfer must be made democratically. Any man who believes that it can be dono by a violent revolution is lit only for a lunatic asylum." It. C. Si.mjio.vs.
