I under the socialist Government Is worse, far worse, for the country than it ever was in the full blast and severity of the war.

I cannot believe that any court could affront human reason and so depatt from the character of British justice as to rule that the transition from war to peace is already over. When a brief that is obviously false is put forward about the doubt of the courts about the transition between peace and war being over about the miners being so cmbariassed in their deft and assured handling of affairs that they fear stretching ever io little the exact bounds of legality. I am filled with suspicion. At any rate, if the only wish of the Government is to make sure the 19 act. with all its vast powers in full activity, is not hampered by a new construction by the courts, why did they not bring in a simple bill stressing that such was the case and giving a reasonable assurance? (Herbert Morrison interjected: "That Is what we have Thai has not been dime at all and I will read out to the House extracts which will show how far the muttered interjections of the Eord President is lies.

(Churchill then read to the House this abstract; "Generally for Insuring that the whole resources of the community are available for use and nre used In a manner best calculated to serve the interests of the community." Applied in Its full force, that would be a complete abrogation of parliament, a complete abrogation of our long cherished liberties and rights. It Is not only trove rnnu-nt which have rights.

I We are asked to give a blank check for totalitarian government for that is what it is. I We nre told thesr powers are no greater than those granted to the Government of which I was the bead in 1910.

That was a moment when invasion, death and physical destruction of our whole race and state seemed to at hand. Moreover there Is a great difference to entrusting powers to a Government representing all the parties of the nation, joined together in common cause, and entrusting them to men who li rely held a majority In the courtly even In 19l nd In I he pnl few years have again and shown themselves to put patty nlwftVs before country.

Head, on First A imrthil text of Winston Churvhill'x House of Common xirrrh opposinrj the Labor tiuvcrnmcnt's tj poucr lull follow: OBJECT to being asked to give reinforcement to those powers which, in the two years they I had been operating since the end of the war, had done more to frustrate than to help forward Britain's recovery. The Government used their majority in 1945 to brush aside our request for a two years' period and insisted on these powers rul ing for five years which, also, was the normal fife of the Parliament. These powers are a negation of British freedom and the British way of living in time of peace. W.e think 1 on the whole they have been injurious, vcn in the first two years after the war. We also consider that, after every allowance has been made for the difficulties of the aftermath (of war) and of our national fatigue, the main cause of at least half of our troubles has arisen from thp partisan policies and administrative incompetence of the Government.

Doubts Their Fair l'lay. We have no confidence in their ability and, apart from wartime memories amongst some of us. we find it difficult to trust their sense of fair play. Under the lit4.r act and tha regulations made upon it, the Government can now direct labor. This power to choose or change occupations hitherto was considered the mark of the difference between free democracy and perf-dom in one form or another.

It is already in their power. They have not dared to use it, not because they have not got the 'power to use it hut because they are in fear of arousing the spirit of the British nation which in time of peace has always stood up for these fundamental liberties. We all know their overriding powers in matters of finance. The whole country wilts under the burden of their devastating or confiscatory taxation. We are entitled to ask what more do you want? And what do you want it for? And we shall endeavor to extract far more precise and straightforward answers to that question than any that has been volunteered by the Lord President (Herbert Morrison) this morning.

Does anyone prrtend the transition from war to peace is over? How can that be contended? Of course we all know that socialism Involves the ptivation snd squalor of war prolonged indefinitely In limes of peace: the more painful to endure because they have to be home without the excitement, stimulus ami of having to defend the home and freedom from the foicign foe. "I.lfe Worse in War." Except for bloodshed, all the evils -of war, and worse, are go- ment with Britain. We believe it violates hotti the spirit and the letter of the double taxation treaty, the British-American re ciprocal trade agreement of 193X. and the present British Joan agreement. "Moreover, the tax deals a severe blow to those who have held such high hopes of an early settlement of the world's economic problems through international agreements and co-operation.

The British may have set in motion a chain reaction which could blast the hope of all trade revival around the world. Only a greater exchange of more and more goods and services will get Britain out of its crisis. It is not by confiscatory measures directed against a great and friendly industry that Britain will be helped along the road to recovery." Transmitter Is Most Efficient in Country. At desk, from left. ACTING and Telecast Over It, Says tho utation, was master of ceremonies.

Trammell, who appeared by means of film made in New York, said that "KSD-TV bus the most efficient television transmitter of any station in the country" and that it ahould bring to the people of St. Douis and the adjoining areas of Missouri and Illinois the superior kind of service In television that they have been accustomed to receive from radio station KSD. Walker, recorded on film in Washington, said that KSD-TV was one of nix television stations established since the end of the war and that together with six established before the war, principally in the East, there were now only 12 stations in the country. "You of St. Louis are therefore among the first to enjoy the thrill of this electronic miracle," he said.

Albanese said he felt he was participating in "an inspiring and unforgettable moment" and that the "importance of this development could not be too strongly emphasized." Engineering Background. KSD-TV's Coe described some of the engineering background of the new equipment, and termed it "the culmination of a good many years of planning." He said the next step in the station's physical development would be construction of studios and offices. The program concluded with a film of the new equipment and the drawing by Amadee Wohl-schlaeger, Post-Dispatch staff artist, of a large charcoal map showing the coverage made possible by the new equipment. A two-hour general television show followed. The new transmitter and tower replaces temporary equipment which has been used since the sta tion began daily telecasts last Feb.

HALT EXPORT OF FILMS TOJRITAIN Action Follows Imposition of Tax Estimated to Absorb 75 Per Cent of Earnings. NEW YORK, Aug. (AP) Eric Johnston, president of the Motion Picture Association of America, announced today directors of the Motion Picture Export Association had voted to discontinue immediately shipments of American feature films and short subjects to England. He bar would continue Indefinitely. The action came after the British Government had authorized the imposition of an import tax on films which the organization estimates will absorb 75 per cent of the earnings of American films in Great Britain.

The vote came in tha course of a closed three-hour session attended by "50 executives of the motion picture industry. At its conclusion Johnston issued the announcement and said: "This tax in effect strangles American film shipments to England. "If the American thing. If expect to film for a actly what British do not want pictures. that's one they do.

they shouldn't get a dollar's worth of quarter. And that's ex- the tax will do. Cites Suggestion for Help. "This tax was Imposed at a time when the American industry, conscious of Britain's dollar crisis. had voluntarily suggested ures of a practical nature to help at once the drain on British ex change." He continued: "Our members desire to meet the British half way by offering to block during the crisis a substantial share of the earnings of the American film companies in Britain.

"This proposal was (submitted to responsible British cabinet members prior to the announcement of the government's action. It would have benefited all and injured none." Johnston said American films are an important, part of the total British economy and that "five dollars out of every earned by American films remain in Britain in the form of British taxes, British profits, and British WJIKl'S." He asserted that "no American industry has co-operated more whole-heartedly and understanding with the British in time of trouble than our motion picture industry." He said that industry had demonstrated this "in numerous ways" from the time war was declared In 1939 to the present day. "Flow of Entertainment. "For three and one-half years after the war began, we supplied an undiminished, uninterrupted flow of entertainment to British civilians and the British services and cheerfully agreed to the blocking of millions of dollars," Johnston said. "Instead of following a successful wartime experience of mutual co-operation, the British government has adopted a form of confiscatory tax on earnings in the guise of customs duty on new films.

"We nee parties to the Yalta ugH-ement," nnid, to the Potsdam agreement, members of the control councils -although we never have been permitted to participate as full partners and parties to the peace treaties." In a lengthy defense of the three ex-enemy states, Krasilnikov charged that the United States and Iiritain were supporting reactionary groups in those countries which were conspiring to overthrow the "truly demo-. erratic regimes" now in power.

He asked Brazilian Representa- tive Henrique, Souza-Gomez why he supported the United States criticism of Bulgaria, Romania and Hungary and asked how he would like it if some country protested against "the outlawing of cne of the major parties in Brazil." Souza-Gomez retorted: "I regret that the representative of the U.S.S.R. is so badly informed regarding the elections in Brazil. "I do not believe the United Slates Government ever attempted to impose its view on other countries. If some countries have the habit of giving orders to neighboring countries, that is not the habit of the American countries." Dutch Position. Meanwhile, The Netherlands Government was reported ready to reject any plan for compulsory arbitration of the Indonesian dispute.

Informed quarter described the Dutch position as follows: 1. They already had agreed to accept the "good offices" of the United States to help settle the undeclared war. 2. The Dutch have announced they intended to invite a number of other governments to send representatives to look over the area. However, they are against a U.N.

commission to supervise the truce. 3. They would accept no U.N. commission either to mediate or arbitrate the dispute. The Netherlands views were made known as the Security Council put the Indonesian question aside until Tuesday afternoon to give the delegates a chance to ftudy a new communication from the Indonesian Government proposing creation of an arbitration commission.
