British Government Initiates
Womon-to- Woman Diplomacy
Mrs. Spikes, Former
Teacher, Arrives to
Take Attuche Post

One of the first official repre-
sentatives of Britain's new labor
government met the American press
yesterday and discussed some OF
Britain's postwar problems.
She is a former schoolteacher,
mother of five and grandmother of
three children, who has arrived here
as an attache of the British En-
bassy to act in liaison with wom-
ems groups in this country.
She is Mrs. Marjorie Spikes, wife
of w. H. Spikes, schoolmaster Of
secondary Chigh) school in sub
urban London. Her husband has
been active In the National Teach
ers Union. Mrs. Spikes put her age
in the mimeograph release on her
background handed to the report
ers. 1t Is 81.
Mrs. Spikes came to the atten-
ton of Labor Secretary (now For
eign Secretary Ernest Bevin while
she was in charge of offices advising
returning veterans.
Her assignment is probably the
first instance in diplomatic history
of a woman's appointment to repre-
sent the women of one nation to
another.
Reporters who went to her press
conference at the British Informa-
ton Service at 1886 New York ave-
nue. NV. met an attractive woman
with brown hair and brown eyes,
who earnestly answered all their
questions with a pleasant accent.
Her answers revealed that some
of Britain's postwar problems of
primary interest to women are par
allel to problems here. She said
that Great Britain was going to
keep the day-care nurseries going
but mot with TOO per cent govern
ment support. They will go back
to the local authorities with so
per cent government grant"
British women in industry are
not anxious to 60 back to the home,
she said. She attributed that to
their reluctance to leave the rather
pleasant industrial hostels built dur
ing the war for the rather grim old
housing they came from"

Big U. 5, Subsidies
Seen as Only Danger
To Norway's Shipping

Norway, with 500 merchant ships
left after the war. doesn't fear that
the United States, which has TO-
100000 tons of merchant shipping
will be an obstacle to Norway's re-
gaining her place as Junior miss
of the seas, unless the United States
is willing to vote handsome subsidies
to her shipping companies.
This was the consensus of five
Norwegian journalists, active in the
Norwegian underground, interviewed
late yesterday on completion of a
swing through the country at Uncle
Sans expense.
Their opinion was expressed prin-
cipally by Olav Brunvald, CORE
spondent for Norways leading labor
newspaper, Bergens Arveiderblad
but others of the group, which in
cluded one woman, seemed to con-
cur.
Third Largest Before War.
In Norway, they said, the govern
ment had never had to worry about
shipping other than to tax 1t.
Low labor and operating costs
plus the fact Norway has always
looked to the sea, they said, placed
the country in the position of being
the third largest maritime nation of
the world before the war, with
Great Britain and Japan ahead of
her.
Norway had 1000 merchant ves-
sells before the war and lost half of
this amount, mostly in Allied con-
voys. She lost 1000 trained merchant
seamen.
Voice PuzzIement.
Their answers to questions were
couched In diplomatic language.
They had found two things confus-
ing on their seven-week tour-the
fact that newspapers in America
print opposing views on important
issues simultaneously and that labor
seems to want retention of capital
ism.
Besides Mr.. Brunvald the Jour-
nalists are M. c. Kirkeboe, an editor
of the Norwegian Christian Press
Agency, which serves 80 newspapers.
Miss Jorum johnson, of Norway's
largest newspaper, Aftenposten;
Oskar Hasselknippe of Verdensgang
a new publication, and Per Thomson
