Mre Warbey."'s stand

We believe that every left-winger in the Labour Party will view Mr. Warbey's stand with sympathetic understanding, All of us are unalterably opposed to any action which could help the Tories: but Mr. Warbey's declaration, which arises out of a revolt of conscience which must be felt by every socialist in the movement, must be seen as a warning to the labour movement of the dangers which are inherent in the Government's current policy. Last week's most serious measures spell out in a foreboding way the price of alignment with the Americans in Vietnam, and the possibility of Mr, Wilson's attempt to secure a marriage between imperialist policy abroad and radical reform at home, Radical reform is the partner which has been put asides and Bill Warbey's reaction will be followed by other similar ones unless the Government makes a sharp change and reverses these priorities. We believe that this should serve as a warning to the forthcoming Labour Party Conferences only if we clear the air there, by firmly condemning the American aggression in Vietnam and by securing the renegotiation of the incomes policy in the spirit of clause four, will be ablé to unite the movement on a platform capable of ensuring that Labour's promised reforms can be carried oute
