DEAR MR.. HEARST:

DEAR Mr.. HEARST: -.s
T'HE second world war over, we seem to be facing
again, with our friends and Allies the same economic
problems we faced after the first world war. nope
history in her nexorable way will not repeat herself
There has been considerable anxiety in this country
the fact the Labor Party has been chosen to govern
Great Britain Personally feel anxiety at all about
this political change in England because it is my read
ing of the history of relations between America and
Great Britain that England and government always
got along better with each other when liberal forces
were IN control of Great Britain than when Tory forces
were in leadership.
After the last world war when the British Tories
were driven out of power Ramsay Mcdonald became the
first Labor Prime Minister of England.
| know you will remember that in 1926 (?) just
after Mr.. Macdonald had become prime minister, you
were in London the way the continent The prime
minister asked if you would to him in Downing
Street to discuss possible bases for increased good will
and friendship between our two countries.
7 WENT with YOU to Downing Street that night by
L yours and the prime ministers invitation. and my
recollection is that the conference very satisfying
and realistic
incidentally, the only other person present was the
then attorney general of England Sir William Jowitt
owitt is one of the great lawyers of England and has
been lifelong member of the Labor Party.
He served in Winston Churchfs cabinet during this
war and though he has been raised the
peerage by the Labor Party government
He is now Baron Jowitt, Lord Chancellor of Eng
land the chief magistrate Of all the judiciary Of Great
Britain, chairman of the House of Lords and devoted
TREND of the American people.
Baron Jowitt is of the many great leaders of
the Labor Party whose power in this government
or England is evidence that the Labor Party will
move too far to the left
NTHAT conference to which have referred, Of
the principal items of discussion was the adjustment
OF the Allied debts then owed the United States
Now again, similar economic questions arise to COM
pcate and disturb sound relationship between the two
countries
In my humble opinion these issues will be so very
difficult of solution if we Americans face these problems
with economic realism
fhs last greatest and bioodiest Of wars is over with
men and women of the laid low by deaths casualties
disease, or widespread home destruction
we, IN America will wish to HELP retrieve men
and women everywhere toward and democratic
reconstruction. But only help
we cannot give our ALI again, for we must con-
sder the maintenance Of high standard of living and
tne Lowering of burden of taxes so thai orr
way of life
,l'HEkE are moral we'll economic and political
Il problems to be faced One of the moral probIenos
Wncn must be pointed toward solution that our Allies
IN TINS war all of us working toward permanent peace
snail by OUR leadership and world public opinion be
forced to change their outworn forms of government
