Labour Party's Manifesto

will not be long before the tieneral Election issues are fully joined. The Socialists, not unexpectedly, have come first Into the field with a manifesto which solicits the continued confidence of the Next wech electors first gained in 1945. the voting public of Britain will have presented to them the Conservative and Liberal platforms; whereafter the struggle for political supremacy will enter t incisive phase. Sections of the British Press have already criticised the Labour Party manifesto on the grounds that it emite so much, le., reference to Marshall Aid, or the part which the United States has

years have represented part of the British Govern- ment's foreign polley, although, ad- mittedly, Marshall Ald has, of necessity played an important part in the economic aspects of daily life for the sverage Briton. But it has already been decided that Marshall'Ald now has a limited life, frrespective of which pollical party be returned to power next month. It could not, therefore, become a contentious election platform for any party.

On these grounds the Labour Party manifesto, deserves to be described as positive and challenging. If it lacks breadth of vision, it certainly rates as being audacious-and audacity is an idiosyncrasy which the British people (as well as Americans, as witness Mr Truman's triumph in, the Presidential election Just year) admire. Until the Conservatives produce their plection plat- form it is impossible to attempt to assess the relative appeala which the manifestoes. are likely to make to the British electors, But the Socialists have not only got off to a quick start; they have managed to avoid giving the impression they are on the defensive.
