COMMENT OF THE DAY

Bevan Challenges

Challenges Attlee

THE left wing group of the British

Labour Party have given notice that they intend, at least, to be vociferous at the forthcoming annual conference of the Party, although the general opinion is that they are not numerically strong enough to depose Mr Attlee from his leadership. Neverthe- less they represent a source of irritation to the Prime Minister and his politically moderate colleagues and not oven the most ardent Labourite can deny that a serious aplit exists within the Party which could become extremely damaging to the cause of British Socialiam. Significantly the schism centres principally around foreign policy. Mr Aneurin Bevan and his associates, firmly convinced that the Labour Government's policies are more likely to lead to war than peace, have announced that if they should succeed in winning control of the Party, they will make radical changes in these policies. Their expressed intention is. to slow down rearmament, discontinue support for the militarisation Western Germany, seek an agreement with Soviet Russia and disassociate the country from United States policy and global strategy. Mr Attlee is thus challenged on fundamentals and he cannot afford either to ignore or treat lightly the challenge. Mr Bevan, who is politically astute as well as possessing persuasive oratorical powers, is endeavouring to induce the trade unions to accept and endorse his programme; tactics which, if successful, could easily change the balance of power within the Labour Party. The trade unions are the rank and file of the Party and it is their votes which not only milect the men and women to the key positions in the Trades Union Counell, but which,

the sympathy of the TUC who, despite differences of opinion with the Govern- ment over domestic issues such as wage controls, have loyally supported Mr Attleo in his general policies. Nor have they given any signs of late to indicate a change of heart. It is quite obvious, however, that Mr Attlee is going to be heavily pressed to revise some of his policies, particularly so far as the Party's domestic programme is. concerned. Committed in principle to further enforcement of nationalisation, he may, in October, find himself faced with a popular directive to extend this policy to defence works and agriculture. His biggest problem, however, will be to` defeat Mr Bovan on more fundamental issues. The annual Party conference will bring the feud between these two personalities to a head. Mr Bevan 18 ambitious and undoubtedly has in mind not only control of the Party by his left wing group, but through it the Premiership should the Socialists be returned to power at the next election. Mr Attlee's personal position, just as much as his Government's policies, are at stake, and the Prime Minister will have to call on all his powerful influence to retain the leadership of the Party, and to keep its ranks solidly behind him for the approaching election.
