Deputy Prime Minister Herbert Morrison replied to the attack on the fq|vernment by calling Churchill’s proposals “a plea for economic an archy’’ and a “dreadfully reactionary speech.’’ “Where did this system of free competition and unbridled flow of profit motive land us between the wars?" Morrison asked. "It landed us with persistent depressions and per sistent crisis.” Morrison referred to a statement by Churchill that rising prices were. "not a sign of evil but often of strength.” v “If it be true that;§ll is well with the controls coming off and the prices rising,” Morrison asked, why had President Truman called congress “To deal with, among other things, this very question of the inflationary movement in prices consistent upon the removal of controls?” Churchill’s denunciation of the So cialist administration opened a two- day dabate on an opposition resolu tion calling for a virtual vote of nw confidence in the government. Like previous unsuccessful moves it seem ed certain to be defeated by Labor’s overwhelming majority in the house of commons. Churchill accused the government Compton of Clinton.
