Is Britain's Labor Government
guilty Of totalitarian tendencies
1t it willing to trade England's
heritage of personal liberty for a
pottage Of governmental regula-
tions and labor control, as the in
terests of a planned economy de-
mands?
The charge seems farfetched, yet
recent speech in the House of
Commons gives cause to think. 1t
was not made by Churchill or any
other Conservative Party spOkes-
man, as might have been expected.
The speaker was a Labor Party
veteran and former coal miner
from Wales, Rhys Davis, now serv-
ing his eighth term in Parliament.
The object of his criticism was the
so-called Control of Engagement
Order which authorizes placement
of unemployment workers into es-
sential industry jobs, whether they
like it or not. The order is part of
series of recently enacted emer-
gency measures giving the Labor
Government extraordinary powers
to cope with the crisis.
| Rhys Davis, in asking for an an
nulment of the order, told the hush
ed House:
"This (order) takes the line that
the Nazis-both in Germany and
Italy-took when they were in an
economic crisis. Dictatorship is
very easy. You don't want to argue
with anybody. Simply give them
orders. That is what they did in
Germany.
II have been so years in the la
Dor movement and / say to my
friends on the front bench-a day
Of reckoning will come to you for
this l think we need labor
government which returns to the
simple decent principles that we
used to preach on the socialist
platform, to clean up this foul taint
called directing people to certain
jobs.
II shall be told / am embarras-
sing the government in moving
this motion The soul and spirit of
the British people are behind what
l say today. 1t may be said it will
bring the government down. Better
that the government should meet
it doom than that individual free
dom should perish in the British
Isles"

tive; James Killen, chief labor ad-
wiser to Gen. Douglas Macarthur
in Japan, and Serafino Romualdi,
AFL Latin-American representa-
tive. A written report was also sent
to the committee by Major Henry
Rutz, AFL representative in Ger
many.
Of major Importance was the
committees decision to carry the
AFL's recent endorsement of the
Marshall plan a step further. The
AFL will now insist that labor
spokesman of labor's own choice be
named to all administrative agen-
cies in connection with the Mar
shall plan, including high diplo-
matte posts in important countries.
Brown and Rutz were instructed
to take up with the trade unions
of the 16 countries cooperating in
the Marshall plan and with Ger
many the idea of a conference on
the plan.
The committee decided also to
submit to President Truman an
economic program of reconstruc-
tion with the framework of the
Marshall plan. This program will
formulate the relation of social and
economic forces to the aid program.
1t will embody assurances of the
rights of workers and the sover-
eighty of nations receiving aid.i
"Slave Labor" Survey Asked
The committee will call upon the
State Department with request
that the American delegation at
the United Nations support the
AFL consultants who have propos-
ed that the Social and Economic
Council and the international La
Dor Office survey the "slave labor"
and present a program to
overcome it.
Full support was voted for the
Lima conference, starting
Jan. 10, to establish an inter-Am-
erican federation of labor. Presi-
dent Green will name an AFL dele
cation to attend.
