14 Thi Newi-Review, Roieburg, Or. Tuei., Dee. 13, 1949 British Laborites Win Small Election, Set For Larger One By DeWITT MaeKENZIE AP Foreign Attain Analyft British socialism, having Just won another parliamentary by' election to the discomfort of the hopeful conservative!, la Just about set for the forthcoming general election which may eventuate by February, This general election will determine whether the voteri want to continue the experiment in socialism or to revert to conservation under the leadership of Winston Churchill, Thus it bids fair to be one of the most momentous in British history. If the socialists are returned to power it likely will mean, as I see it, that they will govern the country not only for the normal live year term but will remain in the saddle indefinitely. Why? Well, because In that five years they will have completed their program of nationalization and other socialization. Changeover Hard It wouldn't be easy to revert to the capitalist system of private enterprise once the. country had been socialized. The current by-election, which was held at South Bradford, wasn't in itself a matter of vast import. However, it was being watched Intently by both leftists and rightists as the straw which would indicate which way the political wind was blowing across ine country. The conservatives had taken considerable hope from the re cent general election In New Zea land where a Labor (socialist) government was kicked out. How ever, I fail to see that the two situations are analogous. Britain Is a heavily overpopuiatoa indus trial nation without many natural resources, while the dominion is largely a farming country, and a rich one at that. It's easier to see red when you are getting Jostled about In crowded conditions. Glowing Picture Given British socialism is giving the voters a glowing picture of achievements claimed. For ex ample: The number of unem ployed In September, 1939, was 1,407,950 and in September, 1949, was HbT.abB; unemployment Dene.

Williams ; percent since 1939 and the cost of living has increased about the same, but counting overtime pay the increase in earnings has been 103 percent. There's a lot more to the story. However, socialist officialdom doesn't claim all the credit for these things. During virtually the whole war period the government was a coalition, with the conserva tives in the majority. Further more the conservatives also aimed at the public benefits which have been carried out by the socialists. Two 8lde To Argument Of course thre are two sides to every argument, and opposi tion to the socialist program was presented by Cecil Palmer, Brit ish book publisher, in a speech before the National Association of Manufacturers in New York City. He declared the British government's nationalization of industry is the short cut to ruin that may lead his country into communism. Mr. Palmer told his audience terms of the financial aid given of 3,000 that social security is so-1 by America and Canada, assert Save space, time and work with KITCH'N HANDY accessories Make the most of the space your kitchen offers . . . utilize every inch for maximum efficiency and convenience with a minimum of waste and clutter . . .

He called the national health service in Britain an "integral part of the socialist frame-up." The Briton spoke in glowing ing that without It "Britain sure ly would meet with unthinkable disaster." He pointed out that this aid is "borrowed from hated capitalistic systems which the borrowers are so energetically trying to destroy." And there you have It. As the feller says, "You pays your Government Rests 2nd Perjury Trial Of Alger Hiss NEW YORK, Dec. 13. (m The government rested Its case in the second Alger Hiss perjury trial yesterday. The prosecution's 35th and final witness was Mrs. Hede Massing, former wife of Communist fugi tive Gerhart Eisler, who stood by her story that Hiss was a Com munist underground worker when he held high state department office before the war. Mrs. Massing, formerly a Vien nese actress, said under cross-examination that she believed Hiss had broken with the Community party since that time. Hiss' second trial began Nov. 17 and the government rested its case during the 15th court day. Federal Judge Henry W. God dard denied a defense motion to dismiss the indictment and anoth er motion for a Judgment of ac quittal. . j Hiss is accused of lvins when ! he denied to a federal grand Jury that he ever gave state depart ment papers to ex-Communist Whittaker Chambers for trans mittal to a Soviet spv ring. His first trial ended last Julv 8 with the Jury deadlocked eight 10 iour in iavor or conviction. If convicted Hiss faces ud to 10 years in 1ail and $4,000 in fines. Mrs. Massing was the first gov ernment witness in either trial to offer direct corroboration of Chambers' story that Hiss was a leader in a pre war Communist underground In Washington. Under cross-examination she testified that Noel Field, another ex-state department official, "was very much under the influence of Mr. Hiss." Field went to eastern Europe earlier this year and disappeared under circumstances that have never been explained. money choice." and you take your "It's What I've Dreamed About!"
