At least, the question will be extensively debated during the next few months. Fabian socialism in Great Britain virtually has ex hausted that country's economic resources and has reached the stage where it can no longer produce promised benefits. Consequently, dissatisfied voters nave cut ine jaDor party vnoinritv in thai Tvnlnt nf ImnotenCC. But socialism in the United from whirh to draw for the ments of voting populace through special privilege. While these resources last it will be difficult, we fear, to halt socialism in this country. Perhaps our pessimism is unfounded. Many political ob servers find a growing fear of current trends towara aencn nanrlinir. hnreaiicratic extravagance, centralization of pow er, handouts and give-aways. It is possible that public awakening to the danger of .our political policies may at least, as in Britain, reduce socialistic leadership to a posi tion of impotence by increasing opposition strength. But we fear the voters or this country are noi yei iuny awaKenea to the dangers ahead and will not be willing to renounce socialism while handouts may be obtained freely and easily. Iriraln Face Hard Task British people face a period of continuing austerity. Yet it is to the credit of the British voter that he has chosen this course, the hard way back, instead of drifting down the road to national suicide. While Britain's socialists were not unseated, their posi tion has been made so insecure that we may expect another election soon. In Great Britain an election is required at five year in tervals, but elections can be called at any time a vote of "no confidence" in the government prevails in Parliament Thus, with seats so evenly divided, the smallest crisis can bring about another election. With evidence of a tremendous swing toward the conservative side, it is a safe assumption, we believe, that another election would put the Laborites In the minority. Britain's Fabian socialists have been holding forth prom ises of a glorious Utopia. They have nationalized industries, socialized medicine and have introduced many other social innovations. In so doing they have reached the point in evitable in socialistic government, the destruction of eco nomic surpluses, reserves, and resources. At this stage they must begin reducing benefits because no sources re main from which to draw money with which to pay those benefits. With decrease in benefits and Increase in taxes, public dissatisfaction begins to grow. Few recipients of welfare have any love or loyalty for the hand that feeds them, when that hand becomes a fist. United States Still Has Great Resources 'Our pessimism leads us to believe that while we may increase our opposition to socialism, the time has not yet come when voters will reject it. , While we can still see strawberries ahead on the illu sionary lane of something-for-nothing, we travel blithely along the merry way. But when we begin to run out of strawberries, when we feel the pangs of hunger, we will be ready to do a little realistic thinking. Certainly the rejection of socialism in countries having had more experience with It should cause us to turn back t early. We should profit from their experience. But we still have abundant resources in this country. We can continue to "soak the rich" for a few more years, drag down corporation profits and manipulate resources. Eventually, of course, we will have destroyed incentive, eliminated venture capital and placed employment under dictatorial control, as has been done in Britain. The revolt will come then, if not before. Welfare Program Slash Planned By Washington State OLYMPiA, Frt. 27. (.?

In In the Day's News (Continued from Page One days for tha Republican party can't aven be compared with what exists in Britain. The roots ara different. Our Republican party had its origins in true and sincere liberal ism. Tha issue that brought the Re publican party into existence was the issue of human slavery. There can be no deeper or more funda mental issue than that. Next after human slavery in the creed of the founders of the Republican party came preservation of the Union. The Republicans ateered our ship of state through the stormy waters of the Civil war and kept it on an even keel through tha troubled re construction period that followed. It loat the confidence of the com mon run of people only AFTER IT HAD REMAINED IN POWER SO LONG that exercise of practically absolute power had dulled its per ceptions and brought ibout the abuses that always follow when -oo much power ia held in too few hands too long. a a a IN Britain, the Tories have no such background. They are the party of tha aristocracy and tha upper classes. One of their fundamental tenets ia the idea that people of this sort ara BORN to rule. On top of that, in this election tha Tories were fuiiy. They didn't feel that they dared to go all out against Socialism. So they said to tha voters merely that if elected they would go no farther in social istic directions and would under take to BUSINESS-MANAGE tha present degree of British Social ism so that it could be made to yield mora returns in the way of social benefits to tha nation'i people. That is a rather colorless issue. It doesn't give pople much to get their teeth into. a a a YET After five years of rather swift ly marching Socialism, tha British people as a whole are so Uttle satis fied with its fruits that vast num bers of them ara willing to forget their hereditary prejudices against tha Tories and vote tha Conserva tive ticket in preference to the straight Labor ticket. These people simply HAVE to Include msny Britains who in 1945 voted to have a go at Socialism in a big way. a a a THAT, It seems to me, la signifi cant. It goes back to the prac tical reasoning that the proof of the pudding ia tha eating thereof. After five vears of eating Socialist pudding a LOT of Britishers have changed their minds about it. That leaves in our minds this thought: Maybe wa won't like Socialism after we get deep enough into it. aa tne British have, to find out what It is really like.

Ask f r Harold Mobley The Middle As Usual wy During pleasant years in the country we have coma to realize aome of tha problems of a dis trict, and the time and unselfish service tha district school board gives to tha community. In town the running of a school ia such a different matter so far as the voter ia concerned. One pays one's taxes; at election time one listens to tha politics and the promises of the candidates, and than votes for tha one honestly believed best for the school board. Coire opening day of school there will be a teacher in each room, the rooms will be cleaned daily, properly equipped ... as if tha voter by his tax rubbed Aladdin's lamp. But in the country it's dif ferent. . ' In the country the school board is made up of neighbors, all busy people, who give their time as needed, and philosophically know that whatever they do will not please everybody. When the pow ers that be say the school must have soma changes made or there will not be the usual money forth coming, the school board must go hither and thither and get figures Adult Education Group Enlarges PHILADELPHIA (.?

It offers courses in subjects ranging from By ViaJmtt S. Martini I together for the voters to conider 'at a meeting. They must steer a I course between tha Schylla of over eagerness to give the children all possible improvements, and the Charybdia of exorbitant demands upon the district pocket-book. They must solemnly decide how many times they can expect the young janitor to clean the floor for the money alloted him in the budg etand then find somebody else when it seems too many to said young janitor. They must listen to the ones who say: "If it was good enough for us, it's good enough for our children"; also tha ones who say, "we ought to do this and that and the other!" The school board finds, as does the housewife and the businessman, that two and two make four in a budget and no amount of wishing will make it anything else. Then there's the poring over of applications from teachers, usually strangers, and the necessity of choosing the "right one" ... no easy job and all the other duties of a school board in the country! But somehow or other things do work out, don't they! antiques and archery to farming and architecture. The deal, disclosed yesterday, ac tually was completed Dee. 27 when Junto officials borrowed $1,500,000 from the Fidelity - Philadelphia Trust Co. This waa paid to Levitt k Sons, builders of tha Nassau county development. A stock trans fer and a federal housing authority mortgage of about $25 million com pleted tha deal.

Heavy raina have caused a drop in one place of about one foot Surest spring sign in this area is the return of great red log trucks to the roads. Logs hauled from high areas are still snow crusted when delivered to the mills. Rob erts Mill, which started operation at Glide last fall, is now cutting lumber again as are several oth ers, after long winter lay offs. Four-foot snow drifts, remains of the "big snow," still line parkings in the neighborhood of N. E. 116th Street, in Portland, according to Marilyn Keckler, Glide, who has just returned from an inspection of her property in that location. Mrs. Keckler reports that during the worst of the storm, drifts in her yard were from 12 to IS feet. Mrs. Willis E. Ragland and sons. Bill and Dick, returned Saturday to Glide after spending the past week visiting Corvallis friends. Ragland is U.S. timber manage ment officer stationed at Glide. , The Tom Noland family have again opened their North Umpqua home after spending the oast fall I and winter months in California and other southern states.

Zl-UPt-A bi scale coffee stealing racket, that authorities say may have account ed in part for tha recent coffee shortage in thia country, has been uncovered on tha New York City waterfront. Special police investigators said SI million worth of unroasted cof fee haa been filched from the docks in tha last year. One salvage merchant was ar rested Saturday, and other arrests were reported imminent. A squad of detectives aome of them mas querading aa longshoremen have been working on the case for a year. Assistant District Attorney Louis Andreozzi said the harbor racke teers have been preying on coffee cargoes brought from Brazil to Brooklyn docks. In unloading, ha said, coffee wss spilled on the docks either delib erately or accidentally and was swept up and sold to coffee traders at 40 percent below wholesale. The spilled coffee cannot be re sold in the U.S., Canada or Mexico because of regulations against it, but can be sold in other nations. To cover up the missing coffee, Andreozzi said, some public weigh ers, insurance agents and steam ship employes reported smaller weights received than actually were delivered. - J Far the vary bast la CONSTRUCTION Coll Goodenough kaae M2S-R-1 AN types at vara Saaa ROLL ROOFING 10S Lb. 3 Coven 100 Sq.
