“Do you have any quesiions?”

“No, we're going to get this

Attlee’s Economic
Plan Draws Fire
From Conservatives
(Continged Prom Page One)
speaks late today.
Attlee, in his grim and gloomy
speech yesterday, told Britons that
‘his program would mean less food,
3less gasoline, less wood for new
’houses, less goods in the stores,
fewer Hollywoed movies, and
ilonger hours of -work. He said it
‘entailed “limited” labor controls,
“some sacrifice” of personal li
berty and spartan hardship.
. Meanwhile, almost unnoticed in
the preoccupation with the econo
'mic crisis; the House of Lords
quietly passed three key measures
of the socialist government’s pro
gram—nationalization of inland
transport, the agricultural bill and
the town and ecountry planning
measure.
Royal assent was given at once
and all three became law.
