out of a proposed coal-steel pool

operation.
British Ambassadors in Wash

The government has accepted
challenge to debate the plan and
its own position June 26. Both
British Conservatives and Euro
pean Socialists have attacked a
British Labor Party statement
which rejected the proposals of
French Foreign Minister Robert
Schuman.
The party opposed establishing
a European central authority with
power for decision that would af-
feet the economy of member
countries.
Mr.. Attlee has said that the
Labor Party's statement does not
represent the governments official
stand. Secretary of State Ache
son has accepted that view.
Fear Loss of Aid.
But the government here fears
that United States Congressman,
reacting unfavorably to the party
document. might upset Marshall
Plan funds scheduled for Britain.
Both Mr.. Bevin and Mr.. Attlee
repeatedly feel that if the party
statement had come either little
earlier or later it would not have
had the effect it did have.
Although the British are not
taking part in a Schuman plan
