Socialism, the nationalization of Britain's industries, is the ef fect, rather than the cause, ac cording to his analysis, and the system is here to stay, whether under labor or conservative gov ernment. Dr. Johnson, dean of the Uni versity of Oregon College of Liberal Arts, recently spent six months in England and Europe, doing special research into phases of the British governmental sys tem. He pointed out that the Con servatives have done little to alter the socialistic developments of the Laboritcs and probably will not attempt to change much of what has gone before. He felt that Churchill would try to main tain the status quo, halt further advance in the nationalization of Industry and Improve its opera tion, but that the present system Is an economic necessity.

THE SPEAKER pointed out that although the Conservatives attained a majority in the House of Commons in the last election, Labor polled a greater vote than it had ever reached before. He attributed increase In Conserva tive strength to the vote of the "dying1 Liberal party" and the geographic distribution of votes, adding that the Churchill gov ernment is placing reliance on drastic allocation of steel; greater austerity in food supplies; cutback in manufacture of such items as household appliances; and drastic control of employers. In many ways, the Conservatives have es tablished more controls that the Laborltes, he said. Churchill is proposing 300,000 public housing units per year, guaranteed agri. cultural prices and subsidies; ex. cess profits taxes for the duration of rearmament; socialization of coal-mining and improvement of operation of other nationalized Industries. Britain's only hope, according to Dr. Johnson, must lie in in creased production, toward which the Conservatives are reaching; decreased imports, and increased ' export trade. He reported that British production has increased 41 since the end of World War II, as compared with the United States' 18, adding that this is still far short of what that coun try needs. In no sense' is Great Britain ap proaching greater alliance with the Soviet Union, Dr. Johnson declared. He pointed out that the socialistic system was established by democratic vote of the people who have the power to throw it out if they so desire; and that the institution of private property is by no means abolished. He felt there was great misunderstanding in this country of the British so cialism, explaining that only cer tain national industries are government-controlled, while own ership of other private property is the same. SOCIALISM has proved to hold no magic, the speaker said, com menting that British labor has been seriously disillusioned in feeling that the system would be a cure-all. There still are labor management relations, with ma jor industries operated by cor porations in London, not Dosses on the job, and that there is no worker-control of industries. It has proved far easier to socialize industry than to make a success of the effort, which requires co operation, employee understand ing, and hard work, he observed. Dr. Johnson expressed the opinion that the strength of An- eunn Bevan is still slight in Britain and that the Labor party still Is functioning as a fairy well organized unit. However, he in dicated that the tremendous bur den of rearmament plays into Bevan's hand and that this burden might force the Labor party to act unwisely in order to keepj peace in its family, with the United States in the role of scape goat because of its insistence on rearmament. The British do have an under standing of the United States' position on communism and are willing to go along, although they cannot understand the all-per vading fear of communistic in filtration and the tactic of "Mc Carthy!." (perhaps because they do understand cricket, he observed). He pointed out that only eight one-hundredths of one per cent of the vote in the last election went to the communists in Britain. Impressions gained on an 8000- mile tour of Europe led Dr. John son to believe that the United States holds a tremendous re sponsibility because of its position of economic strength. He felt a fear among Europeans that the U.S. might precipitate war with Russia and expressed hope that America would play its role intelligently. IT IS TIME for the common man to take over and make world peact succeed where the "wise" men and the "madmen" have failed, Dr. Johnson said. He felt that one path lies through max imum political, economic and military unification of Europe and then of other parts of the free world, concentrating on basic similarities rather than differ ences, to ensure that the "good intended by the wise men doesn't become the evil perpetrated by the madmen." Dr. Johnson refused to gener alize on the success of the British national health program, because of inadequate study of the situa tion. In answer to a question, he reported .finding tremendous gratitude toward the United States for its aid,, commenting that he felt the English were pre pared to make the best of it if more aid is not forthcoming. He reported the Impression of fear that the United States is so de termined to rearm that it might upset the economies of friendly nations. Dr. Johnson described the de struction of war as unbelievably appalling all through Europe. A timely query closed the ques tion period: Do they like Ike? Most emphatically yes, both be cause of his stand on internation al relations and personally, Dr. Johnson said. Perhaps by way of non-partisanship he added, that, though it might sound confusing, "They like Harry S. Truman, too." because of his foreign policy.
