A vigorous rejection of Mr. Winston Churchill's radio warning last.week that the nation faced the ultimate prospect of hunger, dispersal and death under the "totalitarian" Socialist regime was made by Mr. Herbert Morrison, the De puty Prime Minister, tonight.

"He socks to suggest that Britain is becoming totalitarian and his strange way of proving it is to deliver an attack which only the most resolutely demo- cratic Governments would permit in such times of national emergency.
