A "New Deal" For England
The overwhelming victory of the Labor party in
the English elections will have far reaching political
reDrecussions there and throughout the world.
The defeat of Premier Churchill's party, the Con
servatives, was generally expected, as far as any
WORKABLE maiontv was concerned. But no one.
not even the most radical "leftists," believed ther
would be such a landslide to the left as the returns at
the present writing indicate. Neither England nor
the United States will be politically prepared for it.
There will have to be tremendous and immediate in-
ternal readjustments in both countries.
e
MO. I. on this list will, of course, be the retirement
1 1 of Premier Churchill. He not only must retin
as Premier but undoubtedly as the representative
of Britain in the Bie Three councils.
This change will really please Generalissimo btann
"Joe" never liked or trusted "Winnie" and the old
school tie, although the two men worked shoulder to
shoulder and in harmony to rid the world ot tne men
ace nersonified bv the evil and treacherous Hitler,
whom they both detested. It will not shock President
Truman as it would have President Kooseveit were
he alive, there has been no time for them to become
buddies. ...
AND, of course on the surface there will be no radi
cal chancre in Britain's war policies.
No doubt there will be an announcement soon irom
the Labor party to this effect. Any indication of the
reverse would give aid and comfort to the common
enemy.
But it will fool no one on the inside. The depar
ture of Churchill WILL remove the spark-plug from
the British war machine, and for the time being at
least place the grand old Ship of British Imperialism
in tho Arv rnnr fnr nvprVinnlincr flnrl rpnairs!

WE can picture the rejoicing over in India today,
as the news of this Conservative debacle leaks
through the censorship. The East Indians could not
agree among themselves but as far as opposition to
Churchill and his government was concerned, there
was not a dissenting vote. They really hated him and
everything he represented.
"IN the other hand this talk of revolution and com
v munism as an aftermath of this tremendous poli
tical unset, is the bunk.
The English don't do things that way! Or they
haven't at least for centuries. There will, eventually,
be a radical turn to the left from the Churchill course,
a "New Deal" for England that may change the social
and economic structure of that country even more
than the election of Roosevelt and the defeat of
Hoover changed things 12 years ago in the United
States.
But there will be no violence.
There will be no immediate and abrupt transforma
tion. And as always happens over there, the radical
elements once given responsibility will discard many
of their extreme and revolutionary theories, hew
more and more to the traditional British line.
The election, however, will give the peace party in
T?nr1or.1 nnrl Vt rtfrt la rn a o frflm OnrlritlQ cVlot
in the arm. And while it is not likely the Churchill
pledge to fight until Japan's complete defeat has been
achieved will be modified in any way, publicly at
least, there will not be the vigor and relentless de
termination that marked everything in the fighting
line under Churchill s militant and aggressive ad
ministration. If Attlee is the new premier and he
probably will be no pugnacious bull dog psychology
at 10 Downing Street will prevail.
FINALLY, this sharp turn to the left in England,
merely accentuates what has been happening
throughout Europe from the day of Germany's defeat,

Labor Needs Food
To the editor: It is a general
concession that the backbone of
a country is the producer and
labor. In common terms the two
are the same. However, when
we think of a producer, we think
of food and the farmer. The
farmer has some advantage over
labor because he is able to raise
a certain per cent of his food.
America is exerting the greatest
effort of the big nations in war
production. Labor is going full
blast in the most immense strug
gle in our history.
Our loggers, who constitute
only one unit of labor, are most
ly all on government contracts.
Logging and its various phases
Is a muscle-straining, sweat pro
ducing business. We think of a
logger as a big, husky individual
able to stand any amount of
manual labor. Folks, he didn't
get that way eating low point
weiners and spiced up canned
meat. We have been taught that
the food intake of the body
snouia Daiance tne energy
burned. Our creed of equality
now places this man in the same
food class as the sedentary work
er. And it makes a mighty hun
gry man, who strains back and
muscles to a far greater degree
than the office worker or others
in his sphere. He isn't going to
lay down on the job at this cru
cial period, because he is need
ed so badly, but his efforts are
hampered, his abilities impaired.
bhipyards are complaining of
groggy, sleepy workers due to
the lack of sustaining food. Dis
gruntled miners have made some
headway in their dilemma. So
do the loggers deserve a better
deal as they fight on the home
front. It is announced we are
to be 86,000,000 pounds short on
federal Inspected meat this year.
Yet 250,000,000 pounds go to
Britain soon and tons of meat.
fats, etc., to Russia before the
end of the year.
That is fine. We want to aid
these nations. But which end of
the funnel are we to emerge
from in this time of shortages.
Since we have a big task to per
form, we must of necessity keep
labor fed and WELL fed. Is it
equality then, to hog-tie and
hamstring a laborer's stomach;
to place him in the same cate
gory as a child or a person who
uses his muscles only to lift a
knife and fork?
We realize other countries are
hungry, must be fed and will be
fed as soon as possible, but our
own man power cannot now be
sacrificed and laid up in dry
dock.

Salem, July 26 Appointment
of Al J. Crose as head of the loan
division of the recentlyreated
state department of veterans af
fairs was announced here Wed
nesday by Hugh Rosson, director.
Crose first entered the em
ploye ol the state in 1927 as
property manager for the world
war veterans' state aid commis
sion and continued in that capa
city until two years ago when
the commission was merged with
the state land board. Crose has
since been employed by the land
board in the veterans' loan divi
sion.
Loans of the . new state de
partment of veterans affairs will
involve both farm and home
properties and will be confined
to veterans of world war II.
Loans to veterans of world war
I, originally administered by the
world war veterans' state aid
commission and now under the
land board, are being liquidated.
Rosson said other members of
his staff probably would be an

to three hours on a horse. Fence inspection of an
other area, similar in size, for which half a day is
normally allotted, was completed with the jeep in one
hour. Gasoline consumption for the two operations
averaged IS', J. miles per callon.
The jeep pulled a 1,000-pound sprayer with ease
over rough pasture land and soft dry 'lake beds on
one ranch; on another, its four-wheel drive was em
ployed to haul a special two-horse van with a trailed
weight of 4,f00 pounds over difficult back roads.

Not All Crooks
To the editor: An article ap
peared recently in the Readers
Digest describing the many
rackets" that have mushroomed
Into ixitfnri In th TTnltoH
States since the war. Racketeers I
re up to many new tricks in ad
dition to all the old ones attempt
ing to separate wage earners
and newly rich from their mon
ey. Listed among the rackets
were men who are selling inter
ests or partnerships in mining
claims. No exceptions were made
to the rule. The statement sim
ply left the impression that any
one attempting to sell an inter
est in a mining claim is a crook.
That there are crooks selling
gold bricks to a gullible public
not questioned. Crooks are
selling everything under the sun.
net gold mines have always been
favorite among racketeers.
As long as men will 'buy un
seen, Just that long crooks will
be selling on that basis. Laws
cannot protect people who will
not protect themselves; but to
class as crooks all men who of
fer for sale interests in gold
mines or mines of any nature is
unfair. Such an impression
among . people generally is al
ready too prevalent.
Moreover, it is doubtful If
the percentage of failures among
mining ventures is any greater
than among other business ven
tures. It is certain that mining
offers about the only legitimate
getneh-quick opportunities to
day . . . government contracts
excepted.
Any attempt to regulate so
ciety to the extent that a fool
perfectly safe with his monev
is unnatural and undesirable. No
other argument is needed be
yond the fact that such regula
tion is not possible. We see men
every day wasting their money I
in so many different ways com
mon reason tells us there is no
security for any of us without
too great a loss of our freedom. 1
Security and freedom are not at
once possible. A man in jail is
as secure as man on this earth
can be. He is fed, clothed,
nursed and protected as far as
society can protect him, but who
wants to live in so much secur
ity? A distinction should be made
between a "sucker" and the man
who Invests aware that he is
taking a chance.
