 England's Workers

LONDON. - The British Labor Party, chafing under restraints imposed by its par ticipatiOn in the wartime CO., alitiOn government, d c |. manded today a future for. eign policy to develop a new United Nations war ''On hun- ger, ignorance and want"
 Simultaneously it called for overhaul of Britain's economic system, great program of mod ernization and re-equipment of factories, homes, schools and so- cial services.
 DOUBLE OBJECTIVE
 The double objective for Brit aims course at home and abroad was laid down in a declaration of policy" by the party's executive committee for submission to the annual conference next month as a prelude to the first general cleo tiOn in ten years.
 Now that victory has been won, at so great cost of life and ma terial destruction, we must make sure that Germany and Japan are deprived of all power ever to make war again." the committee said.
 It called for the consolidation of the Soviet-Anglo-American as- sociatiOn, saying: ''Let it be not forgotten that in the years lead ing up to the war the Tories were so scared of Russia that they miss- ed the chance to establish . part nership that might we'll have pre- vented the war;"
 The party's spokesmen backed the formation of an international secur- ity organization, urged promotion of mutual understanding and cordial cooperation" between the dominions and recommended the advancement of India to responsible self-govern- ment position and program of planned progress for our colonial de- pendencies.
 The domestic program wrapped up many of the party's longtime objectives with the assertion: ''The price of SO called economic free dom for the few is too high if it is brought at the cost of idleness and misery for millions
 Among the objectives are full en- ployment of all national resources, land, material, and manpower; the maintenance of high and constant purchasing power, government con- trol on the location of all new indus tries to eliminate depressed areas" and public ownership of the Bank of England.
 The declaration specifically called for:
 CD Public ownership of all fuel, iron, steel and power indus tries and inland transportation.
 CD Public supervision of mon- Opolies and cartels.
 (3) Government help to place trade on its feet.
 (4) Enforcement of economic controls to prevent short post war boom which would be follow ed by collapse.
 (5) Retention of controls over rent and the other necessities of life.
 (6) A planned agricultural program to ensure fair return for the farmer and the production of as much homegrown food as possible.

Mails Hampered

Ashe county experienced rec
ord rainfall this week, when field
crops were badly damaged as
were several roads in the county
when many streams reached the
flood stage inundating fields and
blocking roads, temporarily.
The official reading of the u.
S. Weather Bureau here, showed
that the rainfall from Sunday
morning at 1000 o'clock until
early Tuesday morning, when the
downpour finally ceased, was $50
inches. This was the most con-
tinuous rain since the flood peri
cd of August, 1910.
Fed by the many swollen small
Ter streams of the county, New
River rose from to 10 feet above
normal level and in many Sec
tions was far out of it's banks,
flooding bottom lands. The
Brownwood and Fleetwood Sec
tons reported highest flood wa
tiers, with much damage being
done to hay. tobacco and corn,
particularly in inundated fields.
In many other sections, hurley to-
bacco, partly cured, was also
damaged by the continuous rains.
