OMESTIC political life in Britain during the next fortnight will be dominated by the two major party conferences. The Conserva- tives meet at Bournemouth from tomorrow until Satur- day; the Socialists gather at Margate from the tenth to the fourteenth.

Of the two,

It is no real criticism of the Con- servative Party's conference to say that it must have n more comfortable note of complacency about it. The Conservatives are the party and the re- in possession, solutions down for debate have few discontents to re-

for a simple arithmetical index of what its reduced number of members thinks of the future it only need to be recorded that while the Torios have no more than eight resolutions on party organisation, the Socialists have 73 under that heading, followed by a vast number on general policy, many of which have implications for the way in which the Party should be run.

HIS ILLNESS

By PAUL SCOTT RANKINE

Washington, Oct. 3.

Although the latest report on President Eisen- hower's condition indicated no complications, the alarm felt over the recent setback in his recovery from a heart attack has inevitably given further stimulus to speculation that he may resign from the Presidency before his term of office expires in January 1957.

Constitutionally it is extremely difficult for any President to delegate his power of executive decision and continue in office.

According to the point of view of some who know the President well, Eisenhower will not cling to office, to the like President Woodrow Wilson in 1919, if he feels cell in the that he cannot adequately perform its duties.

The United Nations General Assembly, over the objections of the Netherlands, tonight decided to inscribe on its agenda the question of Dutch New Guinea.

The decision was reached by 31 votes to 18, with 10 abstentions.

Last week the steering committee recommended by a vote of 7 to 5 with two abstentions that the Assembly put on its agenda Indonesia's claim to the area-called West Irian by the Indonesians and the Netherlands New Guinea by Holland.
