BITTER CHURCHILL ATTACK
ON LABOUR OVER NATIONALISATION
"Reckless And Wanton"
London, Sept. 14.
The Prime Minister, Mr Clement Attlee, to- night decided to risk the downfall of his Govern- ment and an immediate general election by an nouncing in Parliament that he intended to go ahead with steel nationalisation.
The Conservative leader, Mr Winston Churchill, immediately rose to brand the Govern ment's action as "reckless and wanton."
He pushed forward a motion deploring that "at a most critical period in national safety" Britain should be "plunged into fierce political controversy at home."

Inability to go all the way with the P.M.G. arises From inspection of Government accounts The Post Office last year made a bandsome profit and the figures avail- able emering the current year indicate that monthly revenue continues to expand. Obviously that is no ground for public grievance because it is perfectly true that Hongkong's rates can be counted " amongst the cheapest in the world, but, at the same time, the essence of postal operations, we imagined, is provision of a public service and the stress should be placed there rather than on the prospects of surplus revenue production.
