LABOUR CABINET. CRISIS Differences Over Policy In Economic Tangle
Slash In Armed Forces Possible
!
London, July 29.
The official announcement on the eve of the "crisis meeting" of the Parliamentary Labour Party that Field Marshal Viscount Montgomery, Chief of the Imperial General Staff, has can- celled his visit to Japan and is hurrying home from New Zealand, is linked with reports that a slashing of Britain's armed forces may be forced on the Government..
While the War Office merely gave "pressure of business in London" as the reason, the sud- den decision has placed in the spotlight the major problem confronting the Prime Minis- ter, Mr. Clement Attlee-the growing demand
for drastic steps to alleviate the manpower shortage, which is threatening a
renewal of
the winter crisis that crippled industrial pro- duction earlier this year.
