There sems to be some suspicion that Britain is presenting her rafged side to us while actually using our help to compete with us m world markets. Important u Ally In some ways, when we help Britain it is heiping a competitor, but in an overwhelmingly more i important way we are bolstering our greatest ally. And as a mat ter of fact the production figures do not mean that Britain's posi tion is less stringent than repre sented. Britain never lived on exports alone. It used to be that about naif her income came from in vestments abroad, from her posi tion as the world's greatest bank er and insurance dealer, and from the vast services such as shipping which she provided for other nations. In those days her export were expected to bring in only half of the income needed to pay for her heavy imports of food and raw materials. Bad Trade Balance In order to conduct the war, Britain had to liquidate a vast proportion of her investments abroad. Even that was insuffi cient. Year after year, to obtain war materials, she ran up an un favorable trade balance. Former profits from trade with such countries as India and Egypt be came deficits. For example, she wound up owing some $5,000,000, 000 to India alone. Her shipping industry was torn to shreds. But to get back to why Britain really needs help regardless of record production, one has to re member that overall picture of reduced British investments abroad. With prices for the things she must import far above pre war levels, Britain will not be able to balance her export and import books until her production is about 75 per cent above pre war normal. Until then, Britain as an ally and customer far over shadows her prospects as a future competitor. Droop skirts Idaho Baffles Polio Epidemic Hit Resistance By UNITED PRESS Most women in the United States don't like the new long skirts but they'll wear them any way to keep from "looking funny." A survey of women in 13 cit:es showed that only one woman in four approved calf-length skirts. But nearly two out of every three planned to wear them. j Many of the women were con-i vinced that the new fashion wasi dreamed up by clothing manufac-; hirers attempting to create an( artificial demand for their prod- uct. But Ruth Hatfield. Chicago fashion designer, said such an opinion was "nonsense." ( "If enough women decide they don't want their skirts real long, manufacturers will give them whatever they do want," she said. "It is sheer nonsense to think that a designer can get in an ivory tower and dictate what the public wants. If the public rejects long skirts, manufacturers will change in a big hurry." But in spite of designers' insist-! ence that the American woman wants the new style, the women; themselves continue to vote against it. BOISE.
