Mr Attlee's Vigorous Attack On Communism

CANNOT SHUT EYES TO POSSIBILITY OF WAR

London, Jan. 23.-The Prime Minister, Mr Clement Attlee, today followed up the warning to Soviet Russia against "playing with fire in inter- national affairs" given by his Foreign Minister, Mr Ernest Bevin, yesterday with another strong attack on Cammuumism..

"We recognise that there is in Communism a dyna mic force," he said in winding up the two-day debate on foreign affairs in the House of Commons.

"It is
