internal rumblings, but to counter Conservative electioneering. And the points made are sound enough. Despite Mr Attlee's declaration this week that there will be no general election before the Spring unless the Government suffers defeat on a vate of no confidence, it is still possible that events will dictate the course and, as Mr Crossman asserts, the Labour Party cannot afford a fission with an election looming. The result of the last appeal to the country, the almost complete disap- pearance of their imposing majority, shocked them into an attitude that could not countenance anything suggestive of real rebelilon in their ranks. The Tary party, on the other hand, would welcome election announcement tomorrow were they able to force the issue. What- ever may have been their line of reasoning a month ago, their stand today is the sooner the better, The explanation, of course, is the unexpected steel nationalish- tion declaration by the Attlee Giovern- ment, so bitterly disputed in Parlament recently. Plainly, there is no domestic Issue on which the Tories can go forward to a general election more confidently than on steel nationalisation. Moreover, the time is probably ripe for Mr Churchill to complete the long-wanted deal with the Liberals for avoiding unnecessary clash of candidates. The Liberals showed their hand by voting solidly against the Government. Even Megan Lloyd George, whe has made no bones about her dia-

trust of the Tories, could not take siecl quietly, and shook both the main parties by following the Conservatives into the division lobby. The Labour Party la in a different position. Haste would play into Opposition hands. The debate on the sudden decision of Mr Attlee to proceed with the Iron and Steel Act emphasised that Britain has been flung again into the maelstrom of party politics and the date of another election depends niore on Labour's ability to keep Leir forces in Parliament at full strength at controversial moments than on anything else. Rumours to the opposite elect centre round Mr Aneurin Bevan, the Minister of Health, who is shorply Leftist by comparison with the present Fenders in the Party. Nothing in his demeanour since the Election offers con- firmation: In fact, the Minister of Health has been strangely subdued. Doubtless, Mr Bevan would not be unduly distressed the polling booths. were Britain forced Personally, he would have nothing to lose by an election that might place him in a strong Opposition limelight again. And
If Labour emerged victorious by some chance, would that not prove to Mr Attico and Mr Morrison how right he had been In urging the Cabinet not to shrink from n full-blooded nationalisation measure. Nevertheless, he is not yet prepared to aller open criticism and Mr Crossman's analysts appears to be substantially nccurate. Should there be latent op- position to the Morrison group, it could possibly reveal itself at the Party con- ference at Margate next week. But it is, for the moment, safer to nssume that the rumours are Conservative inspired.
