1 The News-Review, Roseburg, Ore. Thur., July 21, 1949 U.S. Farm Support Prices Blamed By Bevin For Part Of Britain's Dollar Crisis LONDON. Julv 20 For eign Secretary Ernest Bevin : blames a large part of Britain's dollar crisis on high support prices paid American farmers by the unuec. stales government, He told the House of Commons such prices are as much part ol a "welfare state" as socialized Britain's free health service and nationalization of industry. Some Conservatives (Winston Churchill's nartv) have denounc- ed hieh taxation to finance social benefits as largely responsible for the current crisis. They have declared that funds from the "free enterprise" United States should not be used to make up deficits incurred by socialist spending. Bevin told opponents of t h e Tjhor (Socialist) eovernment the "welfare state" should not be brought Into the argument be cause it is developing every where. "The United States is as much a welfare state as this country, although in a different form," he told the house In a debate over Britain's loss of gold and dollar exchange. Many of Britain's, disappearing dollars nave gone ior ine pro ducts of American agriculture. "One of our troubles In t h e balance of payments is the fact that the United States, in carry ing oul its development as a wel fare slate, has given basic prices to Its agriculture," said Bevin.

The commonwealth nations Britain, Australia, New Zealand, India, South Africa, Pakistan, Ceylon and Canada agreed to cut their purchases- from the dollar area by 25 per cent.

Cranshooters the world over are advised the city council laaea Syl Hardwick's idea to erect Just one sign with this popular plea in bold words. One sign will be built on the east side of town, the otner on the west. Both will be on U.S. highway 81, where all can see them. Hardwlck wanted just one new sign to replace a signboard near the railroad station. But, as some dice players have found when they intoned the in cantation while trying for the point of eight, the mayor ran into luck.

Since the old sign was put up, many tourists have stopped by it for pictures. Filling station operations and restaurant owners disagree that this is undignified tomfoolery, They say the fact that tourists stop to see the sign means busi ness.
