FUTILE GESTURES
Mr. C. R. Attlee, Lord Privy Seal, replying to the Commons debate yester- day, said in reference to criticisms of the Atlantic Charter that a general statement made by the heads of two great States could not be expected to contain more ⠀ than gen ...eral principles.
It was impossible to elaborate at present a detailed programme for the future of the world.
When Mr. Attlee said: "This Government and this country are resolved to do their utimost to assist our allies,” „Mr.' Gal- facher (Communist, West File) asked: "All the Government *----- avery- member of the Govern ment?"
Mr. Attlee replied: "Certainly, every member of the Govern- ment."
