Mr. Macdonafd added, “the ‘Mlmibk l"? Wlll be Iihe abolition 0f the party system. 1t interferes wltlrthe great national plan and nothing can be allowed to do that, Socialists will probably deny that "i5! hive any iiuch Idea In mind.

Mr. Macdonald gave his picture of the aftermath of a, socialist ad- ministration.
Witih people showing dissatisfac- tion and being dealt with by prop- aganda the state would control the agencies of education and discus- sion. .. "We shall, lherefore,” he added, "and up with a. society in which everything Is planned, in which nothing is free, in which the press, tihe radio and every other avenue of information or discussion has to be subordinated to the plan and to the state."
He said that socialists would re- tort tbat. such was not the state of affairs in British countries now conrolled by socialist governments. These things probably were not hap- pcnlng in Britain. Australia and New Zealand "though there are ominous signs from some at least. of these countries." But none had gone completely socialist and tihcre still was some room for private cn-
i-erprise.
Mr. Macdonald declared: "I do not believe . . . that political democracy can exist in a corm- pletely directed economy.
"Certainly, Liberalism and the authoritarian state cannot exist
together. Despite all the arguments, that under such a state we shall have greater economic security. that we shall have a more business- like and a more efficient gbvern- meat, I am convinced that political liberty lies at the base of all other liberties and that. when political liberty is abridged, as it must be in a socialist or dictator state. then every other llberty—economlc and the rest-is endangered."

OTTAWA. Oct. 29—,(CP)—Pro- gressive Conservatives‘ of Prince Edward Island are prepared for the provincial general election Dec. ll. Dr. W. J. P. MacMIlluxl, leader of the party in the Island Province said in an interview to- day.
In Ottawa. to attend a confer- ence of the executive meeting of the Canadian Medical Association. Dr. MucMillan said his party "welcomed the opportunity to let the people decide on the problems which are so evldent....“We are prepared. Our candidates have been in the field for some time. Our organization work has been carried on with great success."
The Provincial party leader said the voters of P. E‘. I. were becom- lng dissatisfied with the actions of Premier Walter Jones and the ac- tions of his acting pfiemler, George H. Barbour.
“The unpopularlty of the Pro- Vlnclal Government is plainly evi- dent in the feeling and the state- ments of the voters," he said.
the members of the Government and the people know it. The.lat- est example of it is the announce- ment of the general election by the acting Premier, Mr. Barbour, and the hesltations of Mr. Jones in admitting it to be true. The people know very well that t ere can be no real progress under such disjointed leadership.
“There are many factors which have disillusioned our people with the Liberal administration of the Island. Another is the apparent injustice of our financial set-up with the Federal Government. which is reacting against the Jones administration. 'I‘he result of that financial agreement is that itbears most heavily on the farmers. fish- ermen ancl workmen of the Is- land."

"Operation Victory" also is the story of the British 8th Army and the commander who lcd Britain's famous force from Egypt across
For Sir Francis was with that army before El Alamein and, after Lord Montgomery took over, par- ticipated in the high strategy that broke the Axis offensive in Egypt and led to the westward sviieep across the desert.
Sir Francis. then a colonel, met Lord Montgomery. newly-appointed commander of the 8th Army, at. a crossroads outside Alexandria Aug. l2, 1942, as the latter was en route to his new command. He became Chief of Staff oi the army and was with his chief from then until victory in Europe was achieved. Little that is critical of this con- troversial military leader into “Operation Victory."
It is clear that Gen. de Guing- and considers the Field Marshal the greatest British commander of the war. He admits that. Lord Montgomery at. times was head- strong and difficult. but rarely did he crr. Supporting the author's rebuttal to Montgomery's critics. including Ralph lngersoll, former publisher of the New York news- paper PM, there is thc historical fact. that the English ground for- ces commander in Europe never lost a battle.

‘ (By The Associated Press)
I sanra FE. NM. 0¢t- 27-11" ’ crushed bodies of two Los Alamos atomic energy project secretaries. killed on a week-end mountain- cllmbing trip. were found today at the bottom of a ravine below an icy slope on 13.275-foot North Truchas Peak.
They were Frances B. Krauss. 34, cf Baltimore, and Mildred Har- tlc, 35, of Evansville. Ind.
Police who brought the bodies here said they were found last night by Sam Martin, guide who accompanied the women on their climb, and a state patrolman.
Police said Martin gave story of the tragedy:
After climbing the peak ‘Satur- day. the women and Martin ,started the descent. One of the
girls suggested a shortcut across a
this
‘iwlde expanse of ice, and against l Martin's advice, Miss Krauss start- fed across the slippery slope. l She had gone only a short dist- ence when she fell, sliding several [hundred feet on the ice and cut.- v ting her leg and head. t Martin and Miss Hartlc reached her. but. were unable to remove ‘her without a rope. Martin set out for the rope leaving the wv men clutching a small rock to keep from sliding down the moun- talnside.
When Martin reached the foot of the peak he could no longer see the women. Fearing they had lost their holds on the rock, he searched thc area until about mid- night and then went for help.
The bodies were found several Ihundred feet below where Martin |had left them.

said he imagined that Churchill, after attacking the Government's policies, would offer an alterna- tive "for which we have waited a long time." The Prime Minister said that. Churchill “talked a good deal about this free, thriving busi- ness. As I understand it, he cou- sldered that if we can set Every- thing free from controls, we should get over all our difficulties. He believes in the free play of com- petition now."
Then. turning and. looking at Churchill, Attire asked sharply:
"Would he do away with food rationing now? We want to know."
Churchill rose quickly amid cheers of the Conservative Party members and said:
“In my speech I was striking a note. That note was to set the people free. when you have loaded them with chains all the shackles cannot be struck off in a day."
‘This is the note he has given to the nation," Attlee retortcd. "He is saying you should be free, but not. lust now. It is an 1.0. U.“
"We intend to carry out our pro- gram and take precautions to see that we do it while our mandate lasts," said the Prime Minister, re- ferring to the forthcoming bill to cut from two ycars to one the House of Lords power to veto Com- mons’ legislation.
Opposition leaders in the debate charged the Government with ham- pering free enterprise, inefficient. handling of the economic crisis problcms and squanderlng of Brit.- ain's prestige and power.
“The Government has no leader. no team and no plan," said Oliver Lyttelton, former Conservative Minister in completing the Oppos- ition case tonight.
Under Labor, Britain had sunk to a. "rriendicant nation, now snarl- ing and now fawning."
In a. surprise intervention in the debate, Arthur Greenwood." former Deputy Leader of the Labor Party who was removed recently frcm the Cabinet, said he did not favor postponing nationalization of the iron and steel industry pending a move to restrict the powers of the House of Lords.
If nationalization had been pro- ceeded with, no reason would have arisen for tinkering with the House of Lords, he said.
During the debate, Labor Min- ister Sidney Silvcrman, criticized yesterday by Churchill for tenning the United States a country of "shabby money lenders," told the House "I have been to Aimerlca and I think I ought to withdraw part of that statement."
"At least. they arc not shabby. Thcy are thepnly people in the world today who can afford to buy good English broadcloth."
Predicts Economic Disaster
Silvercnan attacked Churchill for praising the lifting of price con- trols in the United States. adding:
“Uni ss these controls are reim- posed time America ls riding for the biggest and most sensational
economic disaster in all history. I hope to God when it. ccimcs iihey will not start throwing their
atomic bombs about the world." ‘
The remark was greeted by cries of “shaxne" and “withdravfl from Conservative members.

Some question had been raided here as to whether Canada's sig- nature to tlfe trade pacts would
bar her from imposing import. ire- strictlons if these were found de- sirable to safeguard her dollar pos- ltion.
The spokesman, cautious about ccpnmlentlng on this angle indicated that, willie such restrictions would be against the spirit of the agree- ments as a long-term proposition, Canada's hands would not be tied If it wanted to undertake such o step as a temporary measure.
Effect. of‘ thc agreements on the nations with which Canada has most-favorcd-natlcn trcatiss—arid she has them with most countries of tihe world-will be that any tariff reduction extended by her to nat- ions outside the British Ccmmon- wealth will automatically extend to all the others. It will be necessary to negotiate with these countries to get somcliing in return for the concessions the Dominion ls mak- i118.
Since most-if not all-of Can- ada's cunmltmellts in the treaties are tariff reductions, fhls country can put them into effect without going to Parliament. However. any increases would have to be approv- ed by Parliament.

Prepaid Health ‘Plan Under Way In Alberta
By IDBNB BRUCE
(Cmadiai Press Staff Writer) EDMONTON, Oct. 29 — (OP) — Alberta doctors hope to have In operation by April 1 a province- wlde, voluntary prepaid medical care plan under which subscribers can choose any medical practition- er in the province for treatment. I
Dr. W. Bramely-Moore of Ed-' monton, registrar of the Colic-gel of- Physicians and Surgeons of Al- , berth, said in outlining the plan: that It will be along the lines oft the scheme which has been oper-l ating for six years In British Col-l, umbla. He described the latter as “very successful." l
Any member would be eligible for medical, surgical or obstet- rical care lrom any registered medical practitioner and member- ship would be possible through industrial or company groups,’ through municipalities and through individual subscription.
Actual operation will not be pos- slble until approval by thc prov. lulu! Iflillature of an act Incor- porating the Medical Services 1A1- berta) Inc. The Alberta division of the Canadian Medical Associa- tion hus approved the plan.
Other Proposals
Other proposals undcr the scheme are:
1. The entering into agreements with, and if possible and desirable. to amalgamute with all existing medical pre-payment plans for which legally-qualified medical practitioners now are rendering service;
2. Maintenance of effective col- laboration iwiih the College of Physicians and Surgeons of Alber- ta;
3. Assisting the Alberta govern- ment upon request in strengthen-
ing health services and in pro- vision of services to specified groups;
4. Assisting in developing an in- formed public opinion in matters of health;
5. Provision 0,1’ statistical and other information, counsel or as- sistance in all matters pertaining I0 Ilie BIVing of medical services on a pro-payment basis.
The plan is similar to a plan go- ing into effect in Ontario Nov. 1 and along lines of medical serv- ices plans rww operating in Tor- onto, Windsor, Regina and Sask- atoon as well as in Manitoba. All tiiese have been sponsored by medical men.
No rates have been definitely set. for Alberta but It is estimated the annual cost will be between $40 and $50 for a family. The Al- berta company will have a board of directors and subscribers will
