...roared Clydeside John. "When I think of the speeches made at the general election by people [Laborites] around me now, the appeals to the class among whom I was brought up to put their faith in us-when I come here and have to listen to a Minister of Labor telling us she has to steel her heart against a demand for ?50,000 to alleviate the worst form of suffering amidst the poorest of the poor!

The CRIMSON did not deprecate the primary advantage of the House Plan that it can put a stop to continual "eating around".
