WINSTON CHURCHILL WARNS Prince Monsoon

BRITAIN OF GRAVE TIMES AHEAD

London, Aug. 16.

Britain's wartime Prime Minister and leader of the Conservative Party, Mr. Winston Chur- chill, tonight "solemnly warned" the nation that if they submitted to totalitarian compul- sion and regimentation, "there lies before you an almost measureless prospect of misery and tribu'ation."

Broadcasting from the study of his Kent-home where he wrote many of his wartime speeches, Mr. Churchill accused the Labour Govern- inent of gross mismanagement; spending the American dollar loan unwisely and impro- vidently; putting Party faction and class pre- judice before the needs of the nation, and of proposing measures far below what was neces- sary to cope with the country's acute economic crisis.
