Any admirston that nationalisation, under certain circumstances, can bring lasting benefit to the country wenkens their whole platform, and is likely to convince wavering supporters that the Party is out to protect certain interests, regardless of others. The Conservatives have an appealing angle In the matter of reduced taxation, particularly if they can demonstrate during the election campaign that this can be brought about by reducing Government expenditure without departmental efficiency suffering. Relief from direct taxation is what the
classes desire as much, if not ' middle more, thun a wider variety and plentitude of foodstuffs. And if these voters can be persuaded that this relief will be forthcoming without having to sacrifice any of the social services which the nation is now enjoying, they can be ex- pected to cast their votes for Conservativo enndidates. With the two principal party platforms before the electors, it now remains for the contestants to convince the voters which is most likely to achievo what the manifestoca claim. The prob. able outcome can be better judged in another three weeks' tline.

"Special Rights" Granted
To The Soviets
Washington, Jun. 25.-The United States State Department said today that "two secret agreements" between the Chinese Communists and Russia granted “special rights" to the Soviet Union in Manchuria.
Supporting recent statements by the Secre- tary of State, Mr Dean Acheson, the Department issued a detailed "background document" which said, "The Soviet Union has placed the richest in- dustrial area of China firmly behind the Far Eastern segment of the Iron Curtain.”
Mr Acheson declared recently that Russia Was deinching Manchuria, Outer Mongolia, Sinkiang and Inner Mongolia from Chinn and binding them to the Soviet Union.
