SELF-DETERMINATION
CRITICISED BY "Former colonies sitting ducks for Communists'
London, March 14.
Lord Mancroft, Chairman of the Conservative Party Speakers Association, warned today that vast areas of the world aro boing handed over to Com: munism by a policy of giving them self-government.
He fears that many of the countries that have broken away from Britain, France or the Netherlands since the end of the war, are sitting ducks for Communism, without the protection of their former colonial masters. Known as the "Tory Firebrand of the House of Lords," the 36-year-old Peer has several times been mentioned as a certainty for the Colonial. or Commonwealth ministerial office in the event of the Conservative- Party coming to power.

He pulled no punches in an interview in his criticism of the Labour Government policy of according self-determination to countries which lack political niaturity and cohesion to stand Jon their own feet.
