Above All Party Strife Mr. Churchill Defines Some Things "We Must All Of Us Have In Common". United Against Communism
London, Feb. 14.
In a nationwide broadcast, Mr. Winston Churchill declared tonight that Britain's Government and Opposition were united in their resistance to Communism and on the broad lines of foreign policy. Mr. Churchill, who was speaking as the leader of the Conservative opposition, said that he wanted to make it clear that he was not making any proposal for a coalition government, but he wished to dwell "upon some of the things we must all of us have in common." These were that Britain had, firstly, "none of these fundamental, constitutional cleavages, possessed by so many of the other states and nations. The overwhelming mass of the Bri- tish people upholds our free democratic, par- liamentary institutions and our ancient
monarchy under which across the centuries they have come into being."

Government is underlining the principle of "one man, one vote". The Conserva- tives, who support many of the provisions of the new Bill, ap prove this principle, but claim that the University and business men's votes could be retained by allowing those electors the chalce of one or the other of their two votes.
The new Bill redraws the Par Hamentary boundaries so na to reduce the number of Membora of Parliament from 640 to 608, a provision of which the Conser vatives approve.
