Britain Awaits
Elections With
Lines Now Drawn
BY G.. T. HALLINAN

LONDON. Sept. 20. CUP)-Politics
is a live subject in Britain, too. AS
soon as the war is over, there will
be a national election that will es-
tablish the type of government
Britain WI have in the postwar
world.
Right now, there's a campaign
going on in Biiston, near Wolver-
Hampton. for vacant seat in COM
mons. 1t is working class district
and Lieutenant Colonel William E.
Gibbons, a local manufacturer, is
the conservative candidate, opposed
by Arthur Eaton, a truck driver,
who is candidate of the independent
Labor party.
The conservative speakers are
hammering at the independent La
Dor party's program for the post
war naturalization of industry.
This, they say, would be disastrous
for Britain because it would permit
"a walk over for America in the
international competition for world
trade
Smart American business men
would like nothing better than to
see Britain nationalize her indus
tries" one conservative speaker
told an audience. Fer then they
would know that the world markets
were theirs forever"

STRIKE EASTWARD
While the street battle went on
in Nijmegen, British forces were
believed to have struck the three

however, as Of little tactical signif-

Hitler's generalship already was
in evidence all along the blazing
battlefront from northern Holland
to the edge of the Saar valley. Front
dispatches said crack German troops
and panZer units were being hurled
into reckless counterattacks that
slowed the Allied advance in some
sectors at a frightful cost in Nazi

slaughter of Germans without
stemming the Berlin-bound Allies.

the world might be free"
Interest in the war memorial
gathered momentum rapidly after
it was suggested by Boyce Aten
post of the American Legion, the
members of which originally plan
ned to erect some kind of memorial
to the heroes of Ell Centre. Super
visors, however, thought the men,

war cead of the entire county. The
Boyce Aten post agreed and the
supervisors decided to place the
monument on county property, fl
nally selecting court house park

DIGNIFIED STRUCTURE
AS planned at present the monu-
ment will be stately, simple, dig

county and at the same time will
provide an appropriate setting for
patriotic meetings of all kinds. I'm

grow we'll in the desert.
