 Fods TIT
 Churchill

Edinburgh, Scotland, April 30 -- tUP) - Winston Churchill charged the labor government tonight with imperiling Britain's future by im- posing vague, il thought out" na- tionalization and other socialistlc schemes on the country.
 Tn a speech here Churchill re- Sumed his role as leader of the op- position following his return from the United States.
 The former prime minister said he felt the same kind of anxiety about our life and fortunes" as he did In the dark days Of i940 and l94l when Britain stood alone against Ger many and Italy
 National Life Poisoned
 Churchill said the first and fore- most of the governments errors was It's attempt to establish doc- trinaire socialism in this critical period, and the unprincipled use of wartime measures and extra parliamentary powers in order to give satisfaction to socialist theories and fads Ia hopes of gathering lo" grade party advantages,
 Tt is this deliberate and incfeaS- ing tendency which is halnperine and poisoning our national life at the present time. and which VIII If not arrested inflict needless fardship and suffering upon all | classes, and particularly upon the mass of wage earners
 Reviewing Britain's trade system and position, he said If overseas trade Is not restored. the nation would be faced with "a struggle to live at ail."
 "A mighty population has grown up in this island based upon all these far-eaching, intricate and delicate operations he said, and li they are not restored and re- vived in full and growing activity, we shall not be engaged in that fight to improve our standard of living but In a struggle to live at all"
 Means Being DiSsipated
 Churchill said there never was in all history "a community so nu- merous m a position at o1ce so magnificent and so precarious.'
 "The results of serious mistakes at this time would not be misfor- tune of this elass or that or humil- iation of one r ,y or another but dissipation of ,s means by which more than half of our population live. ending in the abridgement of about one-third to one-half of our population and final extinction of Britain ss the center of the widest, most experienced and most tolerant association of races and nations that has existed since the fall Of the ancient Roman empire, he said,
 Churchill said 5ritains position was as precarious as in the early days of the war when she stood alone against Germany and Italy, threatened by invasion,
 T do not hesitate to say that l feel the same kind of anxiety now about our life and fortunes as / did in those dark but glorious days through which we made our way, he said.
