"A battle between two giants of the Empire is made certain by the formidable. . . Mr. Howe," said the editorial. "There can be no doubting the significance of Mr. Howe's mission. The man who anada ranks second in power and prestige only to his own prime minister comes to fight against any move toward the increasing of imperial preference." ' The Eve Standard, pub- lished by Canadian-born Lord Bea- verbrook, has long campaigned for fficreased imperial preferences. It said that in the 'struggle between Canada and Australia, Britain has no choice but to support Mr. Men- zies." ruman Lashes Out At Eisenhower's Policies DETROIT (CP)--Harry Truman, in his first major: speech on do- mestic issues since leaving the White House, attacked the Eisen- hower administration Monday and said "there are signs of a return to the old philosophy that the ob t of government is to help big Addressing a Labor.
