Dollars Spent in Wrong Direction
— Received Monday, 7 p.m. LONDON, June 6. Mr. Anthony Eden, addressing a coAference of young Conservatjves, strongly criticised the action of the Government in refusing to spend_ dollars _ to buy extra quantities of animal feeding stuffs and then using dollars to buy American pork. "If we are going to ^ be able to buy food from abroad at anything like reasonable terms, we must increase our self-sufficiencv at least to the point whert- vve shall not be held to ransom, " said Mr. Eden. "The more we can produce at home and within the Empire family, the better terms we can obtain from others." Mr. Eden said that if the Conservatives were returned at the next election, they would check all further nationalisation and if steel had oeen nationalised by then,. they would free it. "Socialism, insofar as it means.. Government ownership, control and management of industries, is a system which we are convinced cannot work without disastrous consequenees to our national life," he said.
