Labour Member's Attack On United States

"Responsible For Situation"

London, Aug. 11.

After a fiery debate, during which the United States was called a "moneylender" and declar- ed responsible for Britain's economic crisis, the Socialist majority in the House of Com- mous tonight prepared to sit until the small hours of the morning, if necessary to push through its three final stages the Government's bill which will give the Government dicta- over the nation's manpower, torial powers Only the unlikely intervention of the House of Lords can prevent the measure from becoming law within the next few days.

IN LABOUR

London, Aug. 11. One-third of the Labour Members of Parliament are still dissatisfied with their Government's plans to fight the economic crisis. After the full Party had held a special secret meet- ing today at which the Prime Minister, Mr. Clement Attlee, and his principal lieutenants faced outspoken criticism, 150 or more Mem- bers, who had intended to force a decision on the nationalisation of the steel industry and on the size of Britain's armed forces, are still not satisfied.

The Government's spokesmen that any delay is opposed by are believed to have pleaded for large and vocal faction of its own more time to consider both ques-supporters,
