Attlee's Sudden Switch Of Policy Following Hush-Hush Conference

London, May 28.-The Labour Government has suddenly, switched to a policy of decontrols and economic liberalisation since the "hush-hush" meeting of Labour Party chiefs at a country mansion at Dorking, Surrey, last weekend.

In one short week, the Government has derationed nearly all steel, agreed on more conver- tibility of sterling in Britain's proposals for the European Payments Union, relieved the burden of double taxation on incomes from many overseas countries, given the housewife the right to buy milk from the retailer of her own choice, increased London taxi fares by a third to an economic level and given the motorist all the petrol he wants by reaching an agreement with two American oil companies for increased supplies to be paid for in sterling,

a conference united in its ultimate aim is the surest sign of dynamic purpose, and it was interesting that such conflict per- sisted up to the very last moments of the Sydney discussions on économie aid to South-East Asin. The agreed compromise postponed until a further conference, to be held in London in September, con- sideration of South-East Asia's needs, and meanwhile decided {" inaugurale "within the next few months" a scheme for Commonwealth technical assistance. This substantially approves the British Government's thesis; but Mr Spender's imaginative importunity won a victory much more valualde than is represented by the immediate decision to set up the alloente teclinical aid bureau and to £8,000,000 for its work. Mr Spender never claimed that any "spectacular" immediate gesture could take the place of the long- term programme; he was well aware that long-term planning was essential. There emphasis a distinction only of between his approach und that of the United Kingdom representative, Lord Macdonald. Unquestionably, Mr Spender's emphasis was the right one, He sensed that what the situation demands is a prompt and striking nct of Commonwealth policy something capable of more concrete presentation to the peoples of South-East Asin now than the mere resolve to call necessary another conference, however that may be.

It is important that the Commonwealth countries in the troubled area of South-East Asia, shuuli have taken the lead; but any realistic programme of help will require the co. operation of non-Commonwealth tries. Britain has already made available since the war some £750m, to the coun- Iries of South-East Asia (Including India and Pakistan), chiefly furnished by releases from the sterling balances. This has contributed substantially to the pre- sent economic difficulties of the British Isles and it cannot continue on the former scale.

Yet this ly an initiative which the Commonwealth, with its special interests in the area, is admirably fitted to take.
