Sir Richard Stafford Cripps from the

Softening of Policy Forecast.
The rift was interpreted in some
British quarters as possible fore
runner to a softening Of Britain's
policy.
These quarters maintained that it
was the influence of the National
Council of Labor (Which represents
the Trades Union Council, the Ma
tional Labor Executive and the Par

more conservative elements regarded
as extreme firmnesS.
