 London, Dec. 4=(UP) = Labor Minister Ernest Bevin told the House of Commons today that the British government Is interested only in winning the war and that neither interest, property, persons nor prejudices will be allowed to stnad in the way of achieving that great objective"
 Bevin spoke In reply to rebel members Of the labor party who ad- vocate an amendment to the gov- ernment's nanpower conScriptlon bill which would open the way to government operation of essential industries such as transport, mining and munitions manufacture.
 The rebel labor proposal was placed before the house by George Dagger, Welsh labor party member, with the backing of 33 members of the party.
 The resolution agreed to the prin- ciple of the governments manpower bill but said that "in order to secure full utilization of national resources in the war effort the essential inc dustries vital to successful prosecu- ton of the war, especially transport, coal mining and manufacture of munitions should be brought under public ownership and control and the necessary legislation should be brought in as soon es possible" Dagger Backs His Side
 Dagger said his group Is not seek ing to create difficulties for the gov- ernment or to weaken the war effort but insisted the government has taken no action to convince the workers that no substantial profits are being made by industry.
 Personal liberties are gone but property rights remain" he said '"rhere are people in this house who, rather than make concessions to ale low the people to own the industry of this country, will put the Brit ish commonwealth in pawn"
 Tn reply, Bevin asserted that if further requsiticning of either prop erty, services or industry is required for more successful prosecution of the war the government will exam inc any specific proposal and dee termine iss action on the merits.
 Indicating Prime Minister Winston Churchill's intervention, Lord privy Seal Clement R. Attlee appealed to the rebels on "the highest possible ground" to support the government. He said that if they persisted in voting for the amendment, the po- sitiun of the labor members of the government would become unkenable and the coalition government woald 60 ended.

 (In Bangkok the Thailand radio called for extreme vigilance and said a surprise attack on Thailand should not be unexpected)
 Kokumin said MT. Roosevelts re- quest for an explanation of Japan ese southward troop movements was "a scheme ito shift responsibility for the Pacific situation to Japan"
 Kokumin accused the United States of "insincerity" In the Wash. ington negotiations and said Japan cannot overlook the strengthening of anti.Japanese encirclement op- erations by Britain and the united States.
 Examples of aggressive Anglo. American intentions against Japan included arrival of the British bat tlesnip Prince of Wales and other naval units at Singapore and ad- vice on military affairs given to China by Gen. John MagTlder, D. s. military adviser. to Chungking, the newspaper said.

lees appeal.
 The laborite members will hold another meeting ot consider Min- lster of Labor Ernest Bevin's forth coming speech In commons, In which he Is expected to treat the rebels demand.
 The cabnet met last night to con- slider the challenge. It was doubted that 1t favored concessions.
 Perhaps 50 Votes
 Leaders of the rebels said they hardly hoped to rally more than 80 votes for their amendment. But even so, they said, such minority, while falling to jeopardize the gov. eTnment, could precipitate an issue between the leaders of labor and labor ministers on one hand and the rebels on the other.
 That was described as the aub of the conflict. The rebels said they do not contemplate rump party, but coutended that big section of the electorate supports their de- mands for harnessing wealth, as well as humans.
 The rebels certainly were embar- raising their party, in which serious difficulties had emerged for the first time in the war. It appeared that while labor's official leadership was urging the rebels to moderate their demands and maintain national unity, labor ministers under the rebels pressure were trying to per- suade the conservatives to make some concessions for nationalizing property.
