Anxious British liberals Should Be More Radical

By Douglas Amaron

LONDON, Nov. 23 —- (OP) -Slr William Beverldgc. father of Brit- ain's social security scheme. is all!- ious that the Liberal Party should become more radical. , "The times call for a new Britain ‘. Sir William said at a reception ten- demd him by the Liberalsoclal coun- cil on the occasion of his entry into Parliament as a Liberal member. “Liberals must not be afraid to use the state. 'f‘hey'must humanize it and utilize its machinery."

Sir William suggested "a Liberal party with a radical program as a banner under which to fight to rebuild a strong and flourishlntl Liberal arty.

Libero ism, said Sir William. stood for the best safeguard of the liberties of the British people. not so much the liberties that were un- ly useful but those which were cs- sentlai.

Many evils remained to be erad- icated, including want, squalor. lif- noranoe and disease. The battle to eradicate them was begun 35 years

iliiam hope. that soon the fin- lshing touches would be put to the great project started then.

The cure of all evils was what he meant by a "radical program". Introducing Sir William. whom he described as "Will the giant kil- ler". Sir Percy Harris sold the new M. P. would fight. these evils and Woliid be an inspiration to ali Lib- eras.
