Britain's Choice Is for
More or Less Socialism
(Editor's Note: Here is another dispatch by the Washington
manager of the United Press, who is in Britain to cover the
general election. Today he tells what the rival political
parties are promising the voters.)
By LYLE C. WILSON
London. Feb. 14 U.R) President Roosevelt used to say that
his new deal was "a iittle left of center."
In Britain, the choice is whether to have a great deal more
socialism or less of it.
The labor parly, now in power, is far left of center.

Curran Says
Ruling Is Red Aid
.Washington, Feb. 14 U.B Jo
seph Curran, head of the Nation
al Maritime Union, said today
that the supreme court's ruling
on union hiring halls would give
the communists "a field day" in
the maritime industry.
The supreme court refused' to
review a lower court decision
which outlaws union hiring halls
which discriminate against non
union members.
Curran was informed of the
decision as he left President Tru
man's office.
"That is a pretty kettle of
fish, isn't it?" Curran exclaimed.
"It is a very unfortunate sit
uation," he continued. "It is the
best instrument to create chaos
in the industry and Dlav into the
hands of elements whose only
Interest is to disrupt the Indus
try.
"We have had these things
happen before and we get no
help in trying to clean up the
industry. '
"Now the communists will
have a field day. This thing
will set us way back and it cer
tainly won't promote peaceful
labor relations."
Curran was accompanied on
his White House call by John
Green, president of the CIO
shipyard workers and Hoyt Had
dock, secretary of the CIO Mari
. time committee.
They called on the President
primarily to ask him to have

Where Do We Stand With
Russia? Group Makes Study
By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER
Washington, Feb. 14 ) The Truman administration was re
ported today to be taking a new, overall look at American foreign
policy to determine just where the United States now stands in
the conflict with Russia.
The study is being made by the national security council.
This agency embraces the state
the defense depart-
other government
, department,
ment and
agencies.
Responsible officials said that
the aim of the present review,
which is the latest in a series
of such studies to keep Presi
dent Truman and the cabinet
currently informed of "Where
We Stand," is not expected to
produce any new turn in the di
rection of major foreign policy.
It may, however, lead to some
answers of questions raised by
the long argument over the proj
ected hydrogen bomb, its possi
ble uses and its impact on world
affairs.
Other questions are said to in
clude: Whether the United States
is more powerful in relation to
Russia as the result of the H-
bomb possibilities, how long it
may be expected to hold any
edge it has, what effect the pos

and how the bomb should be
used.
Informed authorities regard
the question of use as one of the
most difficult. , It involves the
determination that actually
may not be firmly settled for
a long time of whether as a
matter of high policy the United
States should reserve so devas
tating a weapon for use in re
taliation only or whether it
should use the H-bomb like any
other weapon as soon as that be

The court of honor was held

Ralph Wagers, Sr.; merit badges
to Richard Bye, Marvin Cage,
Weldon Chamberlain, Wayne
Goode, Edwin Stahl. Dean Way,
and Jack Wikoff, these were for
several different projects; Don
ald Bassett made a first class
scout and a merit badge to Rob
ert Wagers, Sr.
The awards were presented
by special guests, Gordon Gil
more and Clifford La Vine and
several of the committeemen.
A rededication ceremony to the
scout law and scout oath was led
by Donald Bassett, assistant
scoutmaster and taps with Dale
Van Cleave as bugler.
The history of the troop began
with a neighborhood - patrol of
three boys, James Madox, Lee
Wagers and Kenneth Munson in
1940. About a year later the reg
ular scout patrol was formed
with Robert Wagers, Sr., scout
master, and five boys joined
the others: Robert Wagers, Jr,
Lynn Barker, Garry Keppinger
and Wayne Alt, for the first
regular troop. When the scout
master, Robert Wagers, Sr., call
ed the roll it was for every man
and boy whose name had been
listed as a member in the past
10 years, as a complete record
has been kept by him through
out the years, and 49 answered
to roll can. There were over
125 relatives and friends pres
ent for the evening.
The bitterest charge against
the government is that its na
tionalization, controls, sub
sidies and bureaucracy have
seriously reduced individual
liberties. The conservatives
say that more socialism sure
ly will destroy freedom in
the United Kingdom, includ
ing the freedom of the trades
unionists who are the labor
party's voting backbone.
The opposition adds that the
labor government has been ex
travagant and incompetent.
During the time socialism
ruled the roost in the old par
liament, the labor government
had 390 parliamentary seats,
conservatives 203, liberals 10
and national liberals 13. The
rest were scattered among
seven other parties. Some 30
parties will enter candidates.
cause costs of that service have
been twice the government's ex
pectations.
The labor and conservative
parties have practically full
slates in the field for the 625
common seats to be filled. The
liberals might aspire to a bat
ance of power and enter the
government in a coalition.
Socialism is an issue divid
ing the parties here chiefly as
related to nationalization of
industries, rigid controls over
some matter of personal con
duct and rationing.
The conservative and liberal
parties stand near together,
while the labor party proposes
next to take over the steel
cement, cold storage, wholesale
meat, insurance and perhaps the
chemical industry. Net loses in
government operation of indus
tries nationalized so far is esti
mated at $126,800,000.
The conservatives promise
full stop to nationalization. They
would repeal some measures.
Nationalization has not pro
vided the workers with the easy
boss and big incomes they ex
pected. The government holds
a tight management rein from
London and the labor party it
self has had to freeze wages.

socialist party's tough guys

tioning. It was he who called
the conservatives "lower than
vermin." To hecklers the other
day he shouted:
The next one who interrupts1
me will be out on his neck. This
meeting is being spoiled by a
few loud-mouthed Jackasses."
Another interruption brought
from Bevan a threat to reclaim
the heckler's false teeth obtained
free under the medical insur
ance.
In going far left of center
the socialists have drawn all
the parties a little way with
them and men like Bevan are
active in hauling labor still
further to the left.

Tokyo, Feb. 14 W Masao
Kume, a leading Japanese nov
elist, said today Japan should be

Labor, liberals and conserva
tives all favor participation to
some degree of workers, con
sumers and even government in
the management of some indus
tries. Labor would have manage
ment decisions made by a part
nership of government, manage
ment and workers. It invites
consumers' councils to help run
business. The CIO at home has
been promoting a similar idea
for some years.
Conservatives propose volun
tary joint consultation among
labor and management in mak
ing some decisions of industry.
The liberals are for jbint con-
sulation and "co - partnership'
between workers and manage
ment.
The conservatives not only
promise to maintain the medi
cal service but to improve it,
They hint at economies, too, be-

will have to be continued. Con
servatives and liberals say they
would reduce them to a mini

Controls cover such things
as working in a job you may
not like because the govern

mit to transfer to another.
