MILITANT LABOUR GROUP DEMAND URGENT ACTION
(United Press Assn.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) LONDON, December 6. Mr A. J. Cook, Sir Oswald and Lady Cynthia Mosley, Mr Oliver Baldwin and fifteen other Labour members of the House of Commons have issued a manifesto urging the Government to take action to avert a nation-wide crisis. They urge the vesting of wider powers in the Government by the an emergency cabinet of the Ministers without portfolios. This executive should put into operation a policy creating a new balance between agriculture and industrial production, organising markets, controlling imports, sheltering workers from sweating, controlling dumping and fluctuating prices, ensuring efficiency, imposing a protective tariff, concluding Imperial and foreign trading agreements, reducing taxation, and instituting slum clearance and re-housing, which would give work to the unemployed.
