Evolution -Is
Alt loo's
The following article was
written by' Milton Bronner,
veteran foreign correspondent
and formerEuropean manager
of NEA Service, who watched
Prime Minister Clement Att
lee's slow but sure rise from
his early Liiuehouse years to
the political heights.
By MILTON BRONNER
(Written for NEA Eerrico) ,
Clement Attlee might be called
the Truman of the British politi
cal upheaval. Just as Truman
got the Democratic nomination
for vice-president as the result
of bitter rivalry between Byrnes
and Wallace adherents, so Att
lee became the titular leader of
the labor party because- of the
bitter rivalry between Ernest
Bevin and Herbert Morrison.
Just as Truman has Wallace
and Byrnes in his cabinet, si? Att
lee has Bevin and Morrison in
his administration.
While the bulk of the labor
party organization and much of
its. voting strength comes from
the actual labboring class in re
cent years, there has always been
a considerable high brow clement
which genuinely believes in so
cialist doctrines. Attlee is one
of that category, being one of the
few leaders who has enjoyed a
university education.
Popular Candidal
He was graduated from Oxford
university, taking class honors
in modern history. Afterwards
he was called to the bar in the
fumouB Inner Temple. Soon he
became a lecturer on social sci
ence in the London School of
Economics. Entering politics, he
chose to run in the Llmehouse
district of London's crowded East
End, a typical working class area,
many of whose residents are
dock workers. Chosen in 1922 a
member of the house of com
mons, he has been so popular
with critical-constituents that he
has been re-elected ever since. In
addition he as elected to two
terms as Mayor of Stepney, a
typical working class borough of
greater London.
As speaker in the House ol
commons, Attlee had none of the
pugnacity of Bevin nor the fire
of Morrison. Both men are great
stump speakers, as are so many
parliamentary labor leaders, hav
ing fought their way up in labor
union politics.
Attlee is rather on the dry side,
but with the.gift of solid exposi
tion of labor's viewpoint. He has
none of the romantic glamor that
was attached to Ramsay McDon
ald, first labor premier, with his
tall figure, handsome , gray .
thatched head and delightful
Scotch burr. Attlee is of medium
height, balding, with a dark
mustache touched with early
gray.
Avoid Communists
As premier he will have in his
cabinet many labor leaders, all of
whom are prima donnas. They
vill now have to change, put into
effect their oft proclaimed policy
6 gradual evolution rather than
revolution.
They may have a harder time
with Stalin than did Churchill.
The labor party has consistently
refused all efforts of the small
British communist party to form
a so-called popular front such as
was at one time effected in other
European countries. At . each
labor party convention the com
munists were always rejected by
an enormous Vote.
Attlee will have vividly in
mind what happened In one of
McDonald's terms in office. Just
before the parliamentary election
the opposition sprung a letter
said to have been written by
Zinovieff, Bolshevik leader. The
labor oppositldn charged this let
ter compromised the laborites,
resulting in their defeat.
If Attlee has a clear majority
in commons and seeks to put into
law some of the party's declara
tions on national ownership of
various properties, it will result
in one of the bitterest fights of
modern times. The house of
lords will only be able to delay
it for some time, or until new
parliamentary elections are held.
There will be, no trouble from
King George, who, as constitu
tional monarch, makes no at
tempt at veto.'

PITTSBURGH, Aug. 7 (UP)
This city, long the kingpin of
American steel production, may
lose its top position to war-born
western steel mills, Ernest T.
Weir, chairman of National Steel

Former president of the Ameri
can Iron and Steel Institute pro
tested "favoritism" shown west
ern industry by government and
freight rates.
Weir said steel plants cast as
well as west of Pittsburgh have a
freight rate advantage. Eastern
plants spend less to ship their
products into the Baltimore,
Philadelphia, and New York mar
kets, he alleged.
