3-Point Programme Presented In Broadcast
INVENTORY OF ARMS &
MILITARY FORCES
Washington, Nov. 7.
President Truman tonight made a three-point proposal for world peace, including a continuing United Nations inventory of all armed forces and armaments.
He urged Russia to accept the plan to prevent another war. In a nationwide broadcast, the President gave the joint plan of France, the United Kingdom and the United States which will be submit- ted to the General Assembly in Paris. The three-point programme sug- gested:
1. A continuing inventory of all armed forces and policed by inspectors, who would armaments be undertaken. This inventory would take report any breach of faith." place in every country having substantial military power armament programme would of

Britain's Economic Crisis

to last for only a year and the monthly deficit has been growing at an alarming pace. To Britons this means more austerity, further reductions in living standards, extended rationing: in short, continuation of the dreary existence which has plagued the people for the last 12 years. Mr Butler's task is to make Britain internationally solvent and it is of significance that his approach to the problem is very similar to that of one of his predecessors, Sir Stafford Cripps. Mr Butler recognises that no novel measures are available that can speed the country's economic recovery. Personal and national sacri- fices remain the essential condition. Un- happily the country's food supplies are involved, Rationing cannot go much be- yond the war-time level without gravely imperilling the health of the people. Austerity can go only to certain limits and these, it is generally conceded, were renched during the Stafford Crippa regime. The parallel requirement is greater and faster production to permit of increased earning power. The Govern- ment will require tremendous new cfforts on the part of capital and labour. Nothing, apparently, was said by Mr Butler yesterday about Incentives, yet without them, it is extremely difficult for any administrá tion to hope for a ready response to an appeal for increased production.

derived from overtime employment. Increased production, if it is to attain the level required, would appear to call for longer working hours. The trade unions would resist any attempt to extend the standard 40-hour week, but their support could be expected for additional part-time work in vital pro- duction industries if compensating in- centives were offered. Accelerated pro- duction is not the Government's only problem. Clashing with the necessity for
manufacturing and marketing commodities needed by the rest of the world are the country's commitments under the rearmament programme. Mr Churchill may find it inescapable to default to some degree in this programme; or at any rate he may have to appeal to the United States to give a bigger helping hand. Mr Butler has already indicated that cuts will be made in stockpiling, but the essential require- ments of the rearmament drive must be met. The poser before the Govern- ment is to increase the nation's earning capacity and simultaneously meet its obligations to the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation and its Western Europe defence commitments which involve considerable expenditure. The task is made all the more complicated by the prevailing high prices for raw materials, much of which Britain has to import. Nor do any signs exist that there is likely to be any lowering of world prices. These are the factors which must govern the Government's handling of » Britain's latest economic crisis. It is a problem of vast magnitude and complexities Mr Butler has shown that he intends to tackle it vigorously and with determination, but he will need the goodwill and gonerous co-operation of the country's industrial leaders and workers to achieve his task of restoring Britain's economic equilibrium,
The President made it clear he was convinced the people of Russia and the Iron Curtain countries really wanted peace if their leaders would only permit
While concentrating on even- tual disarmament, Mr Truman restated his belief that it would be dangerous and foolhardy to hult the build-up of armed forces in this and other free na- tions until a foolpinof plan had been worked out.

London, Nov. 7.
Demand for some statement on the intentions of the new Government towards the Colonies was pressed again today at the first Press conference of the Secre. tary for the Colonies, Mr Oliver Lyttelton.
Mr Lyttelton urged the large gathering of press- men to be patient and wait for an indication of Tory policy.
