British Communists
Denounce Failure
To Strike al Hitler
Churchill Government
AssuiIed for Not Usino
Full Military Strength
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Oct. 1.-THE British
Communist Party yesterday de-
manded a reorganization of the
Churchill government, accusing it of
falling to use "the full strength of
the British and American armies to
strike Hitler from the west"
The demand conceded with a dec
laratlon by Labor Minister Ernest
Bevin that the Allies were ready for
the crucial moment of the war"
which he said was now opening.
Mr.. Bevin condemned the leftist
tendency to minimize" the British
war effort in his speech to the ma
tlonal conference of Transport and
General Workers Union of which he
is secretary. The union has millions
of members.
The vocal but small Communist
Party of Britain, on the other hand,
expressed its dissa atisfaction of Brit
aims failure to fulfill its promises
and pledges" for second front. The
wording of the central committees
pronouncement was> reminiscent of
tllat uSed Dy premier Stain OF Rus
sia in letter to the Associated Press
correspondent in Moscow, asking
Russia's allies to fulfill their obliga-
tions fully and on time"
Mr.. Bevin declared the Allies have
their program and their strategy"
and that Britain knows what contri-
button 1t can make-Where and
when.
The Communist statement ap-
pealed for labor movement cam
paign for reconstructed govern
ment of national unity which will
mobilize the total resources of Brit
ain for victory"
I'VE cannot sit back in the hope
that the Soviet and the peoples of
Europe can continue to shoulder the
brunt of the struggle against Hitler"
