Bevan's New Challenge

To Lab. Party

WILL "GO

ON ALONE?

IN FIGHT AGAINST

CONSERVATIVES

London, Mar. 9.

The fiery Left Wing Labour leader, Mr Aneurin Bevan, widened the split imperilling the Labour Party tonight by threatening to "go on alone" without the Party moderates in his fight against the Prime Minis- ter, Mr Winston Churchill.

"As far as I am concerned, the struggle against Toryism is still on," be shouted in a speech to constituents. "I shall seek to persuade my col- leagues that they should take the most vigorous part in that struggle so we can go on together. But if we cannot go on together we will go on alone. For go on we must, because if we try to remain where we are we shall slip back to barbarism."

The crowd applauded thunderously.

Mr Bevan warned that an arms race might provoke a new war, but he denied that he had ever said no arms were necessary.

"The world is in such a dangerous condition that some military adventure might at any time precipitate us in general conflict. So arms are required in this diaturbed, disordered world. But you can have an arms race of such intensity that it itself could become one of the major causes of war."
