By James McCook Canadian Press Staff Writer

BLACKPOOL, England. Oct, (l- (CP Cabin-Party Leader Win- ston Churchill Saturday outlined s. militant party policy to 2.700 dele- gates to a Conservative convention here and reaffirmed his intention to remain at the rty helm "as long as I have he necessary strength and health."

Mr, Churchill denounced Labor Government policy in Palestine and India, but declared his support of Foreign Secretary Bevin's ollc- les toward Russirrand the Iyiited States.

The “firm and unchanged 1icy" of the United States in urope, together" with its "abandonment of the doctrines of isolation. con- stitutes the main bulwark of the pefrdce of the world,” Mr.. Churchill sa .

"We should like also to preserve our wartime friendship with the Russian people and with the Sov- iet Government if they will allow us to do so and will stop what Mr. Bevin calls the war of nerves."

But the Labor Government had shown itself "markedly unequal to holding cur place in the world" -and had weakened British influ- ence abroad by its determination "to ram Socialist dogma down the throats cf the British people."

In response to repeated demands from the younger quarters of the party for a clear outline of Con- servative clicy the party loader said he s cod for the defence cf chrlstianlty; security against ag- gression; law and order, sound

To this he added the definition given the convention earlier by Anthony Eden. describing the party's aim “to build up a proper- ty-owning democracy."

Mr. Churchill advocated “a kind cf home guard in every locality" to build the party's strength from the bottom in an effort to regain power in the next election. The Conservatl e party should march along strc ing to its convictions and welcoming others who sought unity with the same principles

Contrasting a shrinking British empire with an expanding Russia, the 71-year-old leader said he could not step out of public iifc while "the situation is s0 serious."

The government was “vacillating without any plan or policy" for the l-loly Land and was "holding on to a mandate 1n which they have no vital interest,"

Such a course, he said. was "gaining the distrust and hostility both of Arab and Jew and expos- ing us to world-wide reprobution for their (the government's) manl- fest incapacity."

With the loss of India-“and it may well be that Burma will soon suffer the ‘ same fate"—Mr. Churchill said "the number ofthe King's subjects is being reduced to barely a quarter of what it has been for generations."

Russia at the same time has “brought extra scores of millions of people" under the "despotic control of the Kremlin" and. con- tinues ic expand.

In his petition, which will reach the council in Berlin Monday, Raeder said he preferred a "sol- ierly” death by shooting to angulshing 1n jail for the remain- der of his life."

"This plea in no way means that I in any way confess my guilt.
