Clement Attlee

WHEN LABORITE 'MINISTERS rejected Prime Minister Winston ChurchIll’s proposal for extension of the coalition government in Britain until the end of the Japanese war, they forced a general election which is expected to be held July 5. The coalition government, formed in 1940 just before Dunkerque, appeared likely to crumble in the wake of developments. Sir Archibald Sinclair, head of the Liberal party, said his group doubted the wisdom of prolonging the present Parliament and would prefer an election in late autumn but would be willing to discuss “the possibility of preserving the government under your (Churchill’s) leadership until the end of the Jap war.” Ernest Brown, leader of the Liberal National party, expressed the unqualified support of Churchill. Clement Attlee, Laborite deputy prime minister, said that it would not be “either right or possible” to extend the present Parliament. The Labor party is in national convention at Blackpool, England.
