CHARLOTTETOWN, CANADA THURSDAY, JUNE s, 1941

LONDON, June 4 --(CP Cable)- Brltlsh labor, drawing up "blue- prints" for a new post-war Brit;- iiin, was told tonight that the sec- ond great war will not hatch war millionaires such as emerged from the conflict of 1914-18.

Addressing the last session of the , labor party's annual three-day enn- j ference, Hugh Dalton, economic ivarfare minister, said.»-

"There will be no ripetition af- ter this war of the great war for- tunes which emerged from the last war." ,

He disclosed that the labor par- ty executive has established a spec- ial committee to work out the plans which labor hopes to see g0 into effect when peace returns.

The conference. usually produc- tive o! violent discussions during Britain's Whitsurltlde, closed on a mild note. With labor forming n vital part of the government‘ there was little occasion for the criti- cal fireworks of thp past, and al- IhGllgli some criticism was expect- ed. none materialized.

A memorandum on post-war re- construction was approved by the delegates who heard Arthur Green- wood, Minister without portfolio in

OTTAWA, June 4 —iCl’) — Canada's 1941 $600,000,000 Vic- tory Loan crossed the $100,000,- 000 mark today, the Victory Loan committee announced to- night but actual figures of to- day's subscriptions were not a- valiabie.

“Throughout Canada the torch, rsymbol of the camapisii. has rckflh- ed into thousands 0f homes and the response to date is described et na- tional headquarters as ‘simply mag- nificent.” said a statement from committee headquarters.

Largest subscription recorded in the campaign today—and to date- ‘the committee said -came from [Imperial Oil Limited and its sub-

Mr. Dalton told the delegates that inst as labor is resolved to win the war so is it resolved to win the peace.

Moss unemployment and distress- ed areas are intolerable in time of war. he said, but they should also be intolerable in time of peace.

He sold that even as many bulld- fngs had been bombed and pnrned so he hoped that many old ideas and conceptions hntl been blasted away.

Results of the election for a na- tional executive, the governing body of the labor party, brought s surprise when the delegates learn- ed that Susan Lawrence, '70. per- enninl executhe member. had been dethroned by Alice Bacon, 30, a Yorksrlrc schooimistrcss.
