MR MORRISON'S APPOINTMENT
GREAT ORGANISING ABILITY i RUGBY, October 4. (Received October 5, at 12.15 p.in.) The appointment of Mr Herbert MorHson as Home Secretary and Minister of Home Security finds favour in his “ home town.” Mr Morrison is a Cockney, born and bred. His great organising abilities were revealed as Labour leader of the London County Council. The people of London trust him and think of him as one of themselves. ; In this crisis iii their history he is the man to understand their needs. Hardly less important in the long view are the implications of his appointment in other aspects of security against “ fifth column ” activities. Mr Morrison’s appointment is a guarantee that no security measures will be allowed to endanger basic civil political liberties, preservation of which is one of the chief issues of the war. Any suspicion which may have existed in certain quarters in the past that the Government, in search for enemies of the State, might discriminate unjustly against the Left, whilst turning a blind eye to prominent Nazi sympathisers on the Right, can now be completely dismissed.
