GENERAL ELECTION CALL Accused

Mr. Churchill Attacks The Government

No Conservative Wish For

Coalition Cabinet

Woodstock, Aug. 4.

Mr. Winston Churchill charged today that the Labour Government had "frittered away" the American loan on "indulgences" such as picture shows and tobacco instead of spending it for Britain's recovery from war. "When you borrow money from another country

for the sacred purpose of rehabilitation, it is · wrong to squander it upon indulgences," Mr. Churchill said.

The Government statement, expected on Wednes- day to make drastic curtailments, did not offer any measure "that would not have been far more effective if made a year or six months ago."

He added that the Labourites had waited until too late because "they were too busy planning controls and queues of hordes of officials and multitudes of resolutions."

Mr. Churchill spoke to a fat some of the conditions that gathering. estimated by police were imposed in it."
