"SOCIALISM IN OUR TIME."

LABOUR'S SLOGAN. for CABLE—PRBSS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT.) (AUSTRALIAN AND H.Z. CABLE ASSOCIATION.)' LONDON, April 5. "Socialism in our time" was adopted as a slogan at the Independent Labour Party conference, most speakers expressing the opinion that they would not live to see it if the slow official Labour policy were continued. Some delegates asked their colleague Lady Cynthia Mosley if it were true that she was giving up her title. She replied: "I would like to, but I cannot. ( I have been called by ilj all my life. People will continue to do so." As if to prove otherwise, many delegates persisted in calling her "Comrade Cynthia."

Her husband, Mr Oswald Mosley, told an interviewer that if ever his> father's baronetcy came his way he would certainly take steps to relinquish it.

Most of the afternoon was spent in the discussion of the National Council's programme, which was adopted with minor amendments. The policy includes full maintenance during unemployment, payments to mothers according to tie number in eaoh household, control of prices, and nationalisation of food imports.

[Mr 0. E. Mosley is the eldest son of Sir Oswald Mosley, Bart. In 1920 he married Lady Cynthia- Curaon, second daughter of the late Marquis Curzon of Kedleston; Both Mr Mosley and his wife take an active part in the British Labour movement.]
