Received Wednesday 12.-35 a.m. LONDON, June 11: New ' nationalisation meas'iires were in prfeioaration, said Mr. Attlee at tlie Labour Party confefence. National isatioli measures were an esseiitial part of the planned economy wliieh was being introdnced in- Britffin. ITlie measures were not theoretieal trimmiiig's. They were designecl to help in pr'omoting full employment and economic pro&perity and justiee for all. They were vitally efficient to the workiiig of the industrial and economic machine of Britain. They were the e.mbodiment of the party 's soeialist prineiple of plaeing the welL'are of the nation before that of any section, and d ealing with every problem in a practical and businesslike way. The nationalisation of the Bank oi England went through Parliament 'without a ripple'. The case t'or the nationalisation of mines vvas unanswerable. The# Opposi- | tion had 110 alternative. A cable and wireless" measure was now in committee and so was civil avia tion. "Work would continue on the new measures. Every oue of these measures eame out of hard practical experience and a close study of thc probiems involved. | ''I think this is a pretty gdod start," Mr. Attlee added.' "Remember you must not overload the' 'ogislative machine. Quite a numbcr of Commoners are realising we made 5ur poliey • of . full emplo.y ment bogin with them. The | rJovcrnment is planning work for the next three session-s atld this legislative activity is unexampled. ] There is a lo't of fish in the baskei and they are not jnst minnows There is a pretty big salmon among them. " Delegates acclaimcd Mr. Attlee 's speeeh as the most slirring he had thus far made. The applause continued for several minutes.
