Chiang and his men were clue to

war with fanatical zeal while “the
nationalist armies did not have to
be defeated; they disintegrated.”
Acheson outlined a new Ameri

“Churchill Blacks
Britain's Eye”
Says Attlee
LONDON, UP)—Prime minister
Attlee accused Winston Churchill
of giving Britain a black eye
abroad out of “irresponsibility
and party spite.”
Replying to Churchill’s conserv
ative party policy speech at Wol
verhampton a week ago, Attlee
said his abuse of the labor govern
ment “may be taken seriously in
other countries,” where he is re
membered mainly as wartime
prime minister.
Attlee declared: “Any govern
ment which does not contain him
is always denounced as incompe
tent.”
“How disgraceful it is,” declar
ed Attlee, “to try and make peo
ple believe that all our difficulties
are due to Socialist mismanage
ment.”
Attiee said the wartime coalition
government headed by Churchill
was fully aware of the difficulties
which would face its peacetime
sucessor.
He quoted an article by Henry
Morgenthau, former U. S. secre
tary of the treasury, which told of
a talk with Churchill during the
war.
“ ‘He was extremely pessimis
tic’,” Attlee quoted lie article.
