LONDON, Dec. 6.-A limited dic-
atorship in Great Britain with a
oard of five men empowered to
deal with the economic crisis, was
proposed in a manifesto issued to-
night in behalf of Sir Oswald Mos-
ey and 17 party associates.
Among the 18 signers are the
young millionaire socialist's wife,
Lady Cynthia Mosley, and Oliver
Baldwin. All are Laborite members
of the House of Commons except
A. J. Cook, the fiery miner leader
who was dubbed "Emperor Cook"
during the general strike of 1926.
Parliament 'Incapable'.
Declaring that Britain's parlia-
mentary machinery is incapable of
dealing with the present situation,
Sir Oswald and his associates de-
mand an emergency cabinet of not
more than five ministers without
portfolio, vested with wide powers
for a stated period and subject only
to the general control of Parlia-
ment.
By directly challenging the Labor
government, Sir Oswald and his
associates, most of them young
men, have staked their political ca-
reers on this, and disciplinary
measures may be expected from
Labor party leaders.
Aiming for "10 Downing St."
Just turned 34, Sir Oswald !is
kfownas"'a young man i ahur-
ry," and the destination he is aim-
ing for is considered to be No. 10
Downing street and the premier-
ship.
He jumped into Ramsay MacDon-
ald's ministry only to resign recent-
ly because Laborite leaders rejected
his proposals to solve unemploy-
ment.

Attempts to Conciliate Parties

Barthou, once premier of France
and a dozen times cabinet minister,

task of forming a government late

The senator told the President he
would consult friends and political
leaders during the night and would
return to the Elyses Palace tonior-
row morning to report success or
failure.
