The Conservativo Party charged today that labour's collective bargaining rights, Including the right to strike, would eventually disappear in Britain undor a Socialist regime, as they have disappeared in Sociallet Russia.
This charge was made in campaign literature sup- plementing the Party's monifesto of policy, published on Wednesday, which promised the British people the continuation of their social services, lower taxes, maintenance of full employment, and an end to nationalisa- tion of industries if the Tories are elected on February 23.

Italy to spend huge sums in Somaliland
Geneva, January 25.
Italy will spend 10,000,000,000 lira annually in administering the territory of Somaliland for 10 years under a United Nations trusteoship agreement, Signor Vittorio Carulli, Italian colonial export, said today.
Cerulli is attending the meeting of the UN Trustee- ship Council in Geneva at which an agreement for the trusteeship will be concluded.
As soon as an agreement is reached, Jinly will proceed to a provisional administration of her former colony until final approval is given by the Gen- eral Assembly of the United Nations.

Al that time, in a note to the Rumanian Embassy at Belgrade, the Yugoslav Government also suggested the signing of a special frontier incident
