BY the Assesjoisd Press

LONDON, Dec. 20.-Prine Minis
ter Attlee announced today that
discussions would be held with Bur-
mese leaders soon to speed Burma's
progress toward self government and
Winston Churchill Immediately as
sailed the decision ass step toward
dissolution of the British Empire.
In a fighting speech in the House
of Commons cut short by the speak
er's ruling that he was out of order
Mr.. Churchill declared:
"It was said in the days of the
great administrator, Lord Chatham
that you had to get up very early in
the morning in order not to miss
some acquisition of territory which
was then characteristic Of our for
tunes.
Empire Seen Dissolying.
"The not less memorable admins
tration of the present government is
distinguished for. the opposite OF
experiences. I must say the British
Empire seems to be running off al
most as fast as the American loan.
"The steady and remorseless proc
ess of divesting ourselves of what
has been gained by so many genera
tions of toll, administration and sac
rife continues"
Mr.. Attlee said Britain hoped Bur-
ma would remain in the empire but
she was free to choose independence
I'VE do not desire to retain with
in the commonwealth and empire
any unwilling peoples" the Prime
Minister said.
Mr.. Churchill denounced "this ap-
palling haste" in offering Burma
freedom without an intermediate
stage as British dominion.
"ScuttIed is the word, and the
only word that can be applied" he
declared. Mr.. Churchill lkened the
Burmese situation to the independ-
ence turmoil in India-"This evil
process, which has been attended
by disasters Of which we are at
present only on the threshold"
"Unseemly Rush Of Legislation"
The wartime Prime Minister con-
tinued:
"Just as we see in home affairs the
unseemly rush of legislation, dis
organizing our national life and inn
peding our recovery just SO we
see the same haste-which, I sup
pose, will be paraded as vigor-in
divesting ourselves of the great
possessions of the British crown, and
freeing ourselves from all response
bility for the populations. primitive
and even divided, who have hitherto
looked to British justice and admin
istration for the means of leading
their ordinary lives in peace.
I'VE are getting accustomed and
inurated to the process of the de-
