AUSTRALIA ELECTION SATURDAY
English-Speaking World Wqits
Crucial Vote on Socialism
(Editor's Note: The following story, backgrounding and
explaining the possibilities in Saturday's election In Aus
tralia, was written by Ralph Morton, the Associated Press
bureau chief In Sydney for three and one-half years.)
By RALPH MORTON
New York, Dec. 7 VP) The people of Australia vote Saturday
on whether they want more, or less, socialism.
The whole English-speaking world will be watching the out
come. So will some nations where English is not spoken.
The big question is: Has a definite trend against socialism set
In within the British common
wealth of nations?
Tracers of this trend point to
the defeat last week of the labor
government of New Zealand,
tossed out by the free enterprise
nationalist party after 14 years
of rule.
British Tories, chuckling be
hind their newspapers, predict
the empire's labor, governments
will go out in the order they
came in, first New Zealand, sec
ond Australia, third the United
Kingdom.
Although the basic Issues, pro
V and anti-labor, seem the same
In h Ihret pnnntries. It has Vet
, to be accepted as a political
' maxim that as New Zealand
goes, so goes the empire.
Apart from the surface simi
larity there are many important
Issues peculiar to each of the
three empire nations.
Let's put ourselves in the place
of the Aussie voter. Right on,
you know, you must go to the
polls. It's compulsory by law.
If you don't go, you get haled
Into court and may pay a nne
That means, probably, that
more people proportionally vote
in Australia than in New Zea
land and Britain. Labor poli
ticians say that means more
votes for labor. They say that
much of the working class in
New Zealand stayed away from
the polls.
The government on trial Is
that of Prime Minister J. B,
Chifley, whose labor regime has

Xmas Program Slated
HopeweH The Hopewell
Community club held its annual
December meeting with a mu
sical program arranged by Mr.
and Mrs. Albert Fleming, who
donated an electric stove to the
Community club last month.
Mr. and Mrs. Melvin Heater of
Silverton played the piano and
drums, and Stephen Reed played
the guitar and sang. At the busi
ness meeting, it was decided to
have the Christmas program
December 23, and the Communi
ty club would help with the
treats for the children.

been eight years in power.
The Australian can vote for
a labor candidate, or the candi
date of the liberal party of op
position leader Robert G. Men
zies or the candidate of another
anti-labor group, the country
party.
If labor is defeated, Menzies
undoubtedly would be the next
prime minister. But he would
have to depend on support of
the country party to form a non
labor coalition government.
Labor argues such a coalition
might prove weak. Australians
decided three years ago to cling
to labor rather than this two
party coalition.
However, since the 1946 elec
tions Australia has been plagued
by strikes, some communist-led,
by mounting prices and increas
ing government controls. Aus
tralia and New Zealand are both
bound closely to Britain by eco
nomic ties, as well as sentimen
tal arid political ones.
The financial crisis in Britain
and the devaluation of the Brit
ish pound have made it hard
for the governments of New
Zealand and Australia. Their
currencies have been devalued
too.
Government controls requir
ing licenses for this and that,
restrictions, and red tape have
infuriated many people. The
opposition parties say they will
reduce these controls and make
it easier for people all around.
There is no doubt this is the
toughest fight Australian labor
has ever faced.
The Australian labor party is
a tightly organized trade union
party. It is pledged to a policy
of gradual socialization.
Its nationalization plans, how
ever, with the exception of air
lines, have been nipped in the
bud by constitutional bans and
organized opposition.
For one thing, the labor gov
ernment rushed through parlia
ment a bank nationalization act,
far more daring than anything
proposed socialists in Britain and
New Zealand. But the act was
declared unconstitutional by the
highest courts of Australia and
the empire. . '
There is a further difference
between the election situation
in Australia and New Zealand.
The New Zealand labor govern
ment Just defeated had only a
majority of four in parliament.
Australian labor has 43 seats out
of 75 in the house of representa
tives. It holds 33 of the 36 seats
in the elected senate.
Even if labor lost many senate
seats being contested (half the
chamber), it could still con
trol the senate.
The Australian voter will slve
the answers to major political
questions when he names his
rulers for the next three years.
-he could get the same effect
.vith three band-aids.
Miss Raines says pooh.
"I wore mine in Europe and
Africa," she says. "I even wore
em in England.' Its just a mat
ter of getting used to the things.
You do feel a little naked at
first."
There's another little matter
she was too polite to mention:
You have to have the shape for
'cm too. Miss Raines has.
"I even have a couple of those
'Bikini' models," she added.
"They're just a few strings and
that's about all. One black sat
in number I wore a lot. I came
home with a tan practically all
over."
She doesn't see anything in
decent about 'em, neither.
"There isn't much difference
between a 'Bikini' suit and a
regular bathing suit. Of course,
your stomach's bare. And most
of your hips. And you're bare
ly covered across the chest. But
you ARE covered, and that's the
important thing.
"I'd model one for you right
now. But I'm a little thin. I'd
like to gain about five pounds.
Then I'll have my picture taken."
Miss Raines said she got into
the Bikini habit when she was
vacationing in Algiers with her
husband, air force Maj. Robin
Olds.
"We didn't ha"e any suits so
we rented some," she explained.
"All they had were these French
things, I was so embarrassed
I couldn't stand it. Walked, out
on the beach giggling and sort
of half-crying and carrying a
book in front of me.
"But everybody was doing it.
Nobody paid any particular at
tention to us. And they feel
perfectly wonderful in the water.
I bought a couple right away.
"I tried to find a white one.
That would be stunning with
an all-over suntan. But they
don't make 'em. Seems white
tends to get transparent when
it gets wet."

Sawyer Asks
New Liberalism
New York, Dec. 7 U.R) Sec
retary of Commerce Charles
Sawyer says the United States
must embrace an economic phil
osophy of "new liberalism" to
reap a "fabulously high stand
ard of living" in the next 50
years.
Sawyer told the Public Rela
tions Society of America Mon
day night that the Idea of a "new
liberalism" was based on balanc
ing the major groups in the
country labor, management,
government, political parties
and groups with special inter
ests. "It is the idea of balance," ho
said, "the idea that there is a
middle ground which is best for
all in the long run."
The cabinet officer cited cur
rent demands by labor for pen
sions to point out that coopera
tion is needed to solve the na
tion's serious economic problems.
Capital Journal, Salem, Ore., Wednesday, Dec. 7, 194915
He said two things had to be
considered in demands that ev
erybody in the country get a
pension of $100 a month at the
age of 65:
1. "As a matter of national
policy our federal government
and our state governments are
committed to the payment of
pensions."
2. "It is equally clear, that
this involved actuarial and fi
nancing problems of a delicate
and critical nature."
