London, Oct. 29.
A supreme national effort is demanded by the British Labour Party, which issued a manifesto attacking the Government for "bringing the country to the brink of war," enumerating the points of the Labour policy, and affirming that the voluntary efforts of "free people can far surpass those of regimented dictatorships."
The manifesto demands a powerful and effective anti-aircraft defence organization, the creation of ministries of defence and supply, and heavier taxation on large incomes and great fortunes.
The manifesto says that the world is waiting for a lead. The British Government, in close agreement with the Dominions, can give it, it is stated.
The colonial question, the manifesto declares, is not solved by redistributing territories among competing Powers, but by applying the principle of international trusteeship {o all colonies not ripe for self-government.—Reuter.
