gree of cooperation it can com- mam] from the iLlberals and Con- servatives. No one can Qllara-Illefl the question of tthe life of the Mac- Donald government.

As far as cooperation is con- cemap however. the labor leaders claim they have been promised the help of the Liberals, while they say iiiey will igain some Tory help—it won't ‘be much. ibut Lady Astor and the Duches of Atholl are said to have promised their personal aid to the plan and will draiw some per- aonai sup-port to the P1811 Tim" Pal“ iy friends.

The housing program 'will prob- ably be changed from time to time, but, roughly, at the start it is air out as follows:

l. Gently ipersnade the various "building material rings" to reduce their prices;

2. ll‘ obdurate, then, in iRamsay him-Donald's own language, “break Ilium."
